+= XML-Loader =
+
+The goal of the XML-Loader is to import levels defined in an XML-File into the game engine. This is done by parsing a specified XML-File and adding all defined Entities for the Scene-Manager.
+
+== XML-Design ==
+
+See [wiki:LevelHowTo] (don't know if this is still up to date...)
+
+== Ticket ==
+
+This page referrers to [http://www.orxonox.net/ticket/232 Ticket 232] which is maintained by [http://www.orxonox.net/wiki/NicolasPerrenoud Nicolas Perrenoud]
+
+== Library ==
+
+I'm using the [http://iridia.ulb.ac.be/~fvandenb/tools/xmlParser.html xmlParser] Library from Frank Vanden Berghen which is small, simple to use and fast. ([http://www.applied-mathematics.net/download.php?id=43 Download]).
+It uses only one class, which is defined in xmlParser.cpp, xmlParser.h
+The class '''XMLNode''' reflects an Node in the XML-File. It has methods to get the child nodes, get the attributes and inner text.
+
+'''Example:'''
+
+<root>
+  <level name="Argon Prime">
+    Lorem Ipsum dolor sit amet
+  </level>
+</root>
+
+'''XMLNode xMainNode=XMLNode::openFileHelper("level.xml","root");''' // This loads the xml file and defines root as the main node
+
+'''XMLNode xNode=xMainNode.getChildNode("level");''' // This creates a new node object of child node <level>
+
+'''cout << xNode.getAttribute("name");''' // This prints the value xNode's attribute name, in this case ''Argon Prime''
+
+'''cout << xNode.getText());''' // This prints the inner content of xNode, in this case ''Lorem Ipsum dolor sit amet''
+
+== Misc ==
