# Tree / Language file details

There are three formats that pasco reads langauge trees in.

1. **Mindnode - Markdown format. - ATX Style**

Files look a little like this:

```
# Chat


## How are you?

- Ace!

- Whats that?

- 

## Whats happening?

- Yeah for sure

## I’m fed up


# I need something


## Its in my bag

## Its somewhere else

## Its upstairs
```

It's not the easiest to read - note that with markdown line breaks are key. It's easiest to generate this with something like MindNode - an iOS and Mac app to generate MindMaps. It really is a breeze

1. **Tab OR Space Indented text file**

Here a file looks like this:

```
Chat
	How are you?
	Ace!
	Whats that?
	Whats happening?
		Yeah for sure
	I’m fed up

I need something
	Its in my bag
	Its somewhere else
	Its upstairs
```

It looks a little easier to read - but be **warned** - spaces and tabs at the beginning cannot be mixed. Don't put a space and then a tab. Its not the easiest.

1. **Open Board format**

Pasco natively supports the [open board format](https://www.openboardformat.org). To use this simply upload your board(s) as a 'obz' file in the **Configuration** screen - and hopefully it should work! Note that we of course strip images - and right now there is no built in 'cue' for items. We use the label for this.

To export - select **Export** in the **Configuration** screen and select 'obz' format. You will need a way of sharing this file - either via email or your files app (and then dropbox etc) to make use of this outside of your iPad. Note it exports all your sound files too.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.acecentre.org.uk/products/pasco/advanced/tree-file-details.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
