I'm sure I've blogged this before, but I can't find it, so:
- there's a built-in function called table.tableToXml that will convert a table into a BIG xml file.
- Eric Soroos has made a Patch Tool that will turn a table into a bunch of files.
I'm going to try the second one to dump a Radio tool out to disk so I can hack on it. What I really want to do is make a parser that can understand UserTalk and write out different languages. Failing that, something that can do as much of the grunt work of turning UserTalk into PHP would be nice. But maybe I won't even get that far - I might just want to extract some bits of the code. That, at least, I can do ... :-)
