Hello

I have a small private project going on. I would like to make cards for learning kanji. I have a database with all the information I need, and I can export it to XML.
I have setup a layout on the master page in Indesign CS and now I would like to have indesign generating the pages according to the amount of records I have imported.
I can import the data. It will show under root/dataroot/kanji and there is a kanji line for every record I do import.Inside the line there are the fields for the records.Here the format (of course in the final installment there is much more [about 40 Fields and almost 2000 records] data):
kanji
  kanji
  grade
  frequency
kanji
kanji
  kanji
  grade
  frequency
kanji
kanji
  kanji
  grade
  frequency
kanji
and so on...

I have no idea as how to tag the frames. Which frames do I have to tag in the master page? From what I gathered reding different post about XML, it seems that I need a sort of script. How can I do that?

Any help, solutions or pointers to other ressources would be very much appreciated.

Greetings
Sacha
