Following for the sake of an easier understanding some fictitious UDDF files are given.
Many comments (beginning with "<!--", and ending with "-->") are
inserted. Usually, the parameters are put in brackets, for example with <city>Atown</city>
the city "Atown" is denoted. Some elements are implemented as a switch.
</> e.g. defines that
Only a little selection of elements is given to not make the examples too long, and to keep them understandable. Indentations are made for humans only for the sake of better clearness. A machine made UDDF file needs not to have these indentations. Nevertheless the authors strongly recommend indentations for computer generated files, too! With it readability is enhanced.
In the descriptions of the individual elements partly detailed examples are given.

<text>
First class dive spot! Due to currents often difficult to dive. Access either via
blue water descent from boat, or - with excellent knowledge of the topography! -
diving from the southern tip of Ilot de la Gabiniere in southwest direction.
Narrow, long ridge, both sides like steep walls. Dense growing of algae, sponges,
and gorgonians. Many fishes, first of all many groupers.

Maximale Grundzeit in Minuten bei verschiedenen Flaschenvolumina,
Tauchtiefen und Atemminutenvolumen (AMV)
unter Beruecksichtigung von notwendigen Dekompressionsstopps
Wird die Nullzeit bei einem Tauchgang ueberschritten, so wird der
max. Grundzeit ein "d" (fuer Deko-Tauchgang) vorangestellt.
Ist die maximale Grundzeit laenger als die Nullzeit, aber dafuer
in der Tabelle kein Dekostopp angegeben, so wird die Nullzeit als
maximale Grundzeit angegeben und dieser ein "s" (fuer "Sicher-
heitsstopp") vorangestellt. In diesem Fall obliegt es dem Taucher,
einen Sicherheitsstopp von z.B. 3 min auf 5 m (oder laenger) zu machen.
Muss die maximale Grundzeit auf die laengste in der Tabelle enthaltene
Grundzeit gesetzt werden (weil fuer laengere Grundzeiten keine
Dekostopps mehr berechnet wurden), wird dem Wert ein "t"
vorangestellt. In diesem Fall ist die theoretisch moegliche maximale
Grundzeit laenger als die angegebene, aber dafuer existieren keine
Dekostopp-Angaben mehr.
