Leaving MT

posted: 2006-02-26 19:19:58 perma-link, RSS comments feed

After all this time with MT, I've decided to go my own way. If you've ever come to the same decision, then you know that MT's export is a pretty lame format that doesn't include all of the information you might need if you migrating to another system.

The solution I've come to is to create a MT template that exposes everything as a single xml document. Here's what I'm using so far:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
