Last Revised May 12, 2005
The tags in this table correspond to the set of AIML implemented by the Pandorabots AIML interpeter. These are not exactly the same set of AIML tags adopted by the AIML Architecture committee for the Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (AIML) Version 1.0.1 A.L.I.C.E. AI Foundation Working Draft, 18 February 2005 (rev 007). For comparison see the table of AIML 1.0.1 tags at alicebot.org. This table, however, refers to that document where appropriate.
There are both small and large differences between the Pandorabots tag set and the AIML standard. In particular, there is no <size/>, <version/>, <gossip>, <system>, or <javascript> tag in Pandorabots, and the interpretation of the <learn> tag is quite different.
Other documents useful for understanding the Pandorabots AIML tags include:
In the table, XML tags are shown in a shorthand notation. Closing tags are not shown. The index attribute whenever it appears is optional. The default value is index="1" (or index="1,1" for 2-d indexes). The index tag uses offset one indexing.
