Input Formats

How cool is that? I just had a look at the file formats used by abiword and by Open Office Writer and they're both based on XML. Fantastic! That means that it should be possible to write a basic input handler for them for blog4php.

Hmmm... the templating language can be used as a simple XML parser, and though I might have some trouble with namespaces, it shouldn't be too bad (hah! Famous last words) I also note that PHP comes with ZIP functions, allowing me to make use of zip archives, which is handy cos OO documents are automatically saved in a compressed form....
