OPML XSLT Stylesheets

What is this?

OPML (Outline Processor Markup Language) is a simple XML format for outlines. It is commonly used to share lists of podcasts and Atom/RSS news feeds.

How do I use it?

Download one of the available styles and save it in the same directory as your OPML file.

Add a line at the top of your OPML file. More details
