I needed an OPML Schema and couldn't find one around, so I wrote one. Anyone is welcome to use it, and please send me comments or corrections if you see any...
... Hmm. Not sure if there's much of a point to writing a schema. I wrote a DTD once, which can be seen at: http://dellah.org/opmldtd.txt Equally fruitless....
I put together some PHP code to access and manipulate an OPML document. A working example is at http://www.defconzero.com/phpopml/view.php and free (as in...
Here's how comments are implemented in UserLand's outliner. http://radio.weblogs.com/0001015/userland/scratchpad/comment.opml Dave ... From: Austin Marshall ...
I don't agree. If an item has isComment="true", that doesn't mean that the item is itself a comment. It means that the item has the comment *attribute*,...
I suppose. It makes more sense when you put it that way. From what I understand, the type attribute is open-ended, nowhere in the spec does it say what a...
I just read through the mailing list and there seems to be a number of people with concerns about the practicality of using attributes vs. the flexibility in...
As usual, if you want to create a format that isn't compatible with OPML, you must call it something other than OPML. Thanks and good luck. Dave [Non-text...
... That includes every use of OPML out there. Everyone seems to enjoy making up their own stuff. May as well use OCS for much of what OPML is used for in the...
I don't want to get into a drawn out debate on this, but if you have some examples, please share. The concern is sources that say they're OPML that don't...
... This isn't the case -- there's a specific way to extend OPML, and all of the extensions I am familiar with follow it. To "make up your own stuff" in OPML,...
... Why *are* you so uninterested in extending OPML? You've defined somethign which is useful and popular, and then stopped it from growing. Very strange. jeff...
Jeff, there are no limits to its growth, that I've seen; and that's the way it works -- once something gets popular, if you change it you break it. I don't...
Well again since the basic issue for most people is flexibility vs. a predictable format, and we can add any elements that we want to the outline element, then...
OPML's strength, from my limited experience is it's simplicity. The basic format is simple and easy to use, and easy to keep consistent. It is also a...
... I'm not going to start (another) flameware; Dave has good points; leaving it be is good in a lot of cases. Dave -- you can ignore this; being a lament...
... It could be more clear, but it does in these two lines: "type is a string, it says how the other attributes of the <outline> are interpreted. "There are no...
By directory I mean a Yahoo or DMOZ-like directory -- a hierarchy that is navigated using a Web browser. The hierarchy is specified in OPML. My goal is to get...
How refreshing! I'm soooo tired of people wanting to re-invent the roots. Dave ... From: Stan Krute To: opml-dev@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday, April 15, 2003...
Looking at the example directory at http://www.opml.org/directory/13 is it using the presence of the .opml in the url to decide to display a folder and to...
I don't think I've seen mention of this question before and it's a hard one to search for (with useful results) so sorry if it's a duplicate. what's the...
Yes that's what it means. Here's what the spec says. "A headline without sub-heads with a link attribute that ends with .opml is an inclusion. When the user...
May I be blunt? Assuming so. "It just seems wrong" is not a very strong argument. If you do it differently then theoretically every processor has to work both...
Makes sense. "it just seems wrong" wasn't my only argument but none of the others are particularly strong enough to justify a change. as a note, the others...
Imho, after many years of working on outliners, my belief is that the text is just one attribute, and often not the most important one. OPML is not like every...
