Also, it looks like items are appearing in each applied category in my output after all, so I’ve actually got a propoer OPML feed, which is cool. I still want to move to a WP friendly version, though. Mine’s not really that simple to implement on a any random Wordpress weblog.

Special characters - Yes, they do need to be escaped. There must be a PHP or WordPress function for this, so it shouldn’t be too hard to implement without having to list each character specifically. urlencode may actually do this, but I’m not sure. I may have a play with this myself.

I’ve got the category and recursion stuff orked out in my head pretty well for the nested category thing as well, and I think it’ll allow multiple categories per post. I also think it’ll nest the categories acurately - we’ll see when I have it coded on the server. Actually, it’s halfway into the file on the server, which is why that file produces “Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_GLOBAL, expecting ‘{’ in /wp/wp-opml.php on line 42″. (now fixed)

I have not dealt with invalid characters, as I see you’ve done. I’ll add that to my ToDo.

Thanks for stopping by!

Your approach is clearly much more “Wordpress-like” than mine, which is great.

I’ll keep an eye out for new versions of your template.

Thanks!
