Review: XML:Wrench

Published on Feb 19, 2007   //  Reviews

XML WrenchI am working on a project to make our regular BlueFur.com site into an RSS feed. That way you can subscribe to it and any time something changes you can be notified. This is also a test to see how the search engines will like RSS for a non-blog site.

The first tool I tested which was free is XML:Wrench. The tool looks like most code editors when you open it. You can use it as a code editor. I downloaded this for main reason to convert pages from HTML/PHP to XML. After opening a page I got stuck. The option to convert was greyed out and no documentation as to why.

I would not recommend this tool. I am still seeking for a scrapper that will allow me to convert our site into an RSS feed. If you know of any good tools post it the comments.

  • Do not convert :)

    The thingy won’t work anyways the way it’s drawn.
    Hint: there is no space for a thumb.

  • Mine is greyed out, too. Can anyone recommend another quickie program to convert HTML to XML? Or am I going to have write it myself?
