## Description

In ®ina; 6.0.1 and earlier, the &xml-packet; element was used to store every packet in the entire packet tree that makes up a ®ina; data file. This page describes how the &xml-packet; element was structured when storing a &snappea; triangulation. Since ®ina; 7.0, each packet type has its own &xml; element; in particular, &snappea; triangulations are now stored using the &xml-snappeadata; element.

A &snappea; triangulation packet stores a 3-manifold triangulation using &snappea;'s text-based file format (instead of ®ina;'s own native format). This is useful when working with a triangulation that originated from &snappea; or &snappy;, since it will preserve all of &snappea;'s own internal data (e.g., peripheral curves and fillings).

This packet contains a single &xml-snappea; element, which contains the full contents of a &snappea; data file (using &snappea;'s text-based file format).

The roles played by the child &xml-tag; and &xml-packet; elements are described in the general &xml-packet; element documentation.
