Where can I find docs on .tsx file format?

[Mark McKay]

I recently came across Tiled and started playing around with it.  One of the features it provides is the ability to add external tile sets using files with the .tsx extension.  However, I can find no information about what tools may create these files, or about how I might write one myself using a text editor (I'm assuming that it's an XML file format).

Any idea who maintains the .tsx file format and where I can find out more information about it?

You create them by using the 'Export As...' action on a tileset in
Tiled. This will save the tileset definition to a separate file and
make the map file reference this file instead of embedding this
information. At this point you can use this exported tileset
definition also in other maps.

It is not really a separate file format from TMX, so you can just
follow the information in
https://github.com/bjorn/tiled/wiki/TMX-Map-Format regarding the
tileset element.

Sorry for the lack of a proper Tiled user manual.
