NAME
    XML::OPML::SimpleGen - create OPML using XML::Simple

SYNOPSIS
        require XML::OPML::SimpleGen;

        my $opml = new XML::OPML::SimpleGen();

        $opml->head(
                 title => 'FIFFS Subscriptions',
               );

        $opml->insert_outline(
            group => 'news',  # groups will be auto generated
            text =>  'some feed',
            xmlUrl => 'http://www.somepage.org/feed.xml',
        );

        # insert_outline and add_outline are the same

        $opml->add_group( text => 'myGroup' ); # explicitly create groups
   
        print $opml->to_string;

        $opml->save('somefile.opml');

        $opml->xml_options( $hashref ); # XML::Simple compatible options

        # See XML::OPML's synopsis for more knowledge

DESCRIPTION
    XML::OPML::SimpleGen lets you simply generate OPML documents without
    having too much to worry about. It is a drop-in replacement for
    XML::OPML in regards of generation. As this module uses XML::Simple it
    is rather generous in regards of attribute or element names.

COMMON METHODS
    new( key => value )
        Creates a new XML::OPML::SimpleGen instance. All key values will be
        used as attributes for the <atom> element. The only thing you might
        want to use here is the version => '1.1', which is default anyway.

    head( key => value )
        XML::OPML compatible head method to change header values.

    id ( )
        Returns (and increments) a counter.

    add_group ( text => 'name' )
        Method to explicitly create a group which can hold multiple outline
        elements.

    insert_outline ( key => value )
        XML::OPML compatible method to add an outline element. See XML::OPML
        for details. The group key is used to put elements in a certain
        group. Non existent groups will be created automagically.

    add_outline ( key => value )
        Alias to insert_outline for XML::OPML compatibility.

    as_string
        Returns the given OPML XML data as a string

    save ( $filename )
        Saves the OPML data to a file

ADVANCED METHODS
    xml_options ( $hashref )
        $hashref may contain any XML::Simple options.

    outline ( $hashref )
        The outline method defines the 'template' for any new outline
        element. You can preset key value pairs here to be used in all
        outline elements that will be generated by XML::OPML::SimpleGen.

    group ( $hashref )
        This method is similar to outline, it defines the template for a
        grouping outline element.
