All the parts are there in rough form, I think. There's a method <code>XoxoOutliner.Conversions.fromDOMtoXOXO(ele)</code> that takes a UL or OL node from the DOM and attempts to serialize it as XOXO, stripping out all the crud injected to manage the UI.</p> <p>So, maybe <code>data = XoxoOutliner.Conversions.fromDOMtoXOXO($('outline1'))</code> will get you an XOXO string for the first outline on the page, depending on what ID it has. ('outline1' is auto-assigned if none already given)</p> <p>You should be able to then make a POST request with XMLHttpRequest using that data as the body, or whatever your API requires. HAving not yet had a chance to try it, of course, it probably needs some work yet</p> Danny: Sure – one of the next APIs I was thinking of tackling once I’d found a good implementation of it was the APP.

So, maybe data = XoxoOutliner.Conversions.fromDOMtoXOXO($('outline1')) will get you an XOXO string for the first outline on the page, depending on what ID it has. (‘outline1′ is auto-assigned if none already given)

You should be able to then make a POST request with XMLHttpRequest using that data as the body, or whatever your API requires. HAving not yet had a chance to try it, of course, it probably needs some work yet

A kind-of feature request. I'd very much like to try out your code with the <a href="http://wymiwyg.org/knobot" rel="nofollow">blog backend</a> I'm now using. But I don't really fancy writing code to support XML-RPC when a POST should be enough, also I don't really have any need for the OPML. So I'd be very grateful if you could somehow add hooks, or at least indicate in the code where to snip the bits I wouldn't need.</p> Does sound cool.
