The end of a text file is denoted by placing one or more special characters, known as an end-of-file marker, after the last line in a text file. • .XML: Extensible Markup Language; a general-purpose specification for creating custom markup languages that allows its users to define their own elements. • Rarely requested due to their unique characteristics. Please be sure your district SIS system and data group can support an .XML file before ordering. STAR Student Data CD
