Description

There should be a primitive such as ls:create-models-from-string that would read in XML model data from the string instead of from a file. This would allow LevelSpace to run in NetLogo Web, and it would allow child models to be stored in a model's bundled resources and loaded with the Resource extension.

Research direction

Start by tracing how LevelSpace currently reads XML model data from files and where its primitives are defined. Implement the string-based model-loading primitive so child models can be loaded from bundled resources and used in NetLogo Web, then verify that XML supplied as a string is accepted without relying on a file.
