be formatted as demonstrated below:
Core Data: XML identification header, show name, software version XML was created with
Sample XML :
<?XML version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Hog xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<Show name="TestShow" maj_version="3" min_version="4" patch_version="0"
build="1225"/>

4.12.3 Importing Cuelist Data from Reaper
Regions/Markers created in Reaper (a dedicated Digital Audio Workstation Application) can
be exported to a separate csv file that can be imported into Hog show files. Importing Reaper
Region/Marker data does not modify, delete, or alter fixture programming data in the show
file. Imported Reaper data only adds/modifies non-look data such as cuelist names, cue
names, and timecode values for cues.
Exporting Reaper Regions and Markers to a csv file
1. Ensure the Reaper project timeline is set to Hours:Minutes:Seconds:Frames (this can
be set by right clicking on the timeline area of the Reaper application)
2. Open the Marker/Region Manager Window in Reaper (ctrl+alt+shft+R)
3. Look at the top right hand corner of the Marker/Region Manager Window and ensure the
"marker" and "region" options are both checked
4. Right click inside the Marker/Region Manager window and select "Export
regions/markers..."
5. Select an easy to access destination such as the desktop or an external USB flash
drive and click okay. A separate csv file will now be created in that location which can
be imported into Hog 4 OS using the import instructions provided in this chapter.
