`.gramps` and `.gpkg` file attachments ARE allowed.

Or you can post XML source code for import via the [Import Text gramplet](https://www.gramps-project.org/wiki/index.php/Addon:Import_Text_Gramplet). (Source on Discourse has a [copy codeblock button](https://meta.discourse.org/t/copy-codeblock-contents-to-clipboard/148855) enabled in the upper right of the scrollable code.)

In an [example of sharing a custom filter XML definition](https://gramps.discourse.group/t/selecting-families-with-empty-parents/6434/7) we add the xml notation after the codeblock start with 3 backticks so that the color coding is appropriate. (I like to wrap them in `<small></small>` html tags. But there must be an extra linefeed between.)
