Introduction
This project takes in a wider initiative to produce a conversion platform able to convert from and to a variety of document formats, including some of the Scenari formats. This is achieved by the use of a custom pivot format, Hdoc, which allows to easily extends the conversion platform to the cost of some information loss.
Goal
The goal of our project is to produce a conversion component for the Hdoc platform which would be able to convert OPML documents to Hdoc ones.
Converter
The OPML format
The Outline Processor Markup Language was first intended as a file format for the software Radio UserLand. Since then, his usage for storing generic hierarchical information increased and it has become a de facto export standard for a variety of outliners software.
More recently, it became widely used for the storage and communication of RSS feeds.
