        <contents type="mimetype" size="{int}" width="{int}" height="{int}" href="{uri}" /> 
        <contents.preview rel="thumb" type="{mimetype}" maxwidth="{int}" maxheight="{int}" href="{uri}" /> 
        <contents.preview rel="webview" type="{mimetype}" maxwidth="{int}" maxheight="{int}" href="{uri}" /> 
        <date.created>{date}</date.created> 
        <user.createdby id="{int}" href="{uri}">
            <nick>{text}</nick> 
            <username>{text}</username> 
            <email>{text}</email> 
        </user.createdby>
        <revisions count="{int}" href="{uri}" /> 
    </file>
    ...
</files>

Implementation Notes

The contents.preview element only exists if a file preview is available. Preview generation requires the file to be an image and fall within a certain size.

Files in the archive are not included in the output.
