OPML Outline Processor Markup Language File Format | N/A | Web Files |
The OPML ( .opml) file extension is associated with the popular Outline Processor Markup Language and is afforded the privilege to store documents written with XML-formatted content within an outline format. This method of document storage is largely used by a variety of news reading applications and podcasting programs. Data stored within the OPML can generally be exported from other applications and RSS news feeds, greatly adding to its utility.
Technical Details
The structure of an OPML file consists of a Uniform Resource Identifier element containing a web address linked to the document, then an XML header, which is followed by an outline element. This outline includes elements which contain attributes such as date, types, name, created and description. Furthermore, inside these outline elements reside a 'text' attribute linked directly to the previously mentioned web address. Also included is an 'isComment' element which is set to true or false depending on the content in the outline section.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .OPML) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .OPML extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .OPML file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .OPML extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .OPML extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .OPML file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .OPML file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .OPML file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .OPML file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .OPML file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
