#18 research topic: txt2xml/BEE

[T.J. Willis]

txt2xml (http://sourceforge.net/projects/txt2xml) is a
BSD-licensed utility for transforming delimited
(tab/comma,etc) text files into XML formats. There
should be either a 2-step (fairly easy) or a 1-step
(harder) way to import text files into BEE using txt2xml
as a middleman. A candidate text file would be
something like:

ID[TAB]TEXT[TAB]RIGHTANSWER[TAB]WRONG1
[TAB]...WRONG3[newline]

I think that support for files without ID's should be made
available as well.

The 2-step method would convert files into a stream in
the "native" txt2xml format, and then use SAX to
convert this into a pavlov Book file. From what I can
tell, you should be able to specify a translation format to
do this in 1 step, but I couldn't see how to do this.
