Lists and Custom Properties

[Gary Thompson]

Richard,

Thanks for your response. What if I wanted to store a fair amount of 
text related to the line in the list? I've been experimenting with that 
idea but it seems to truncate the text especially if there are returns 
in the text. Maybe what I need to do is:

a.) Use separate text files and store the filename in the list using 
the technique you described

or

b.) Use the altSQLite plugin and use a database table which may make 
more sense

Basically I want to be able to parse XML files into usable pieces of 
information that would be linked to a line in a list.

Gary
