Hi
:confused::confused::confused:

I'm a C# developer. I've never used XML before.
I've written a script that automates some creation of documents.
I've been asked to do something in the following line:

"Convert your output data to XML format sothat program X can understand and use your data."

My Question:
What steps do you recommend I take?

I'd start by looking at what program X can understand and accept...
