Usage:

The api_info xml string is used in:

• Output of api/info

Remarks:

The api_info consists of an api_version and a list of supported alphabets on the system.

The api_version specifies the major, minor, build and the private number of the API version.

The information for each alphabet contains the alphabet name which should be supplied in the lettering decorations. The API can only create lettering decorations from alphabets that are returned by this function. The alphabet name may have spaces in it.

The full_version contains more detailed version information. It contains an internal_api_version for support. In the future, the API information may be extended with other data.
