    Is there a way to export a FreeMind file into OPML format?  I have an application that I would like to import FreeMind into  for use on my Iphone but it requires an OPML format.

      File -> Export -> Using XSLT ....
      Choose XSL File -> browse to the directory where you installed FreeMind -> then to 'accessories' -> select 'mm2opml.xsl'
      choose ExportFile -> browse to wherever you want and give a file name ending in .opml (or whatever)

      It seems to work, but I don't know if the result is meaningful.

      I would find this useful too but the export seems to ignore long nodes and nodes with notes?

    The resulting OPML fails to import into carbonfin.com "outliner online".  So, I can't convert the freemind mindmap to opml that carbonfin's outliner can use.

    Anyone had success?

    Well - answering my own question…

    I was able to import a Freemind (v0.9.0) map into iThoughts on my iPhone and then export it as OPML from there before importing it into Carbonfin Outliner successfully.  This was the same mindmap that I originally tried to export as OPML from Freemind and failed to import into Carbonfin Outliner.

    The XLST converter needs work.
