The Method #2 here is putting all of my URLs into one <loc> field, do you know what might be causing this?

thanks

Hi,

Very nice tool however it ranks very well in Google for converting XML to XML.GZ being how I ended up here. I have a crawler that only does the XML but does not compress into gz. Might be nice to have an addition to the website for that?

Worked a treat in the end. Just for other people like me, I used the Pipe limited CSV to XML upload. I had to use TextEdit to change the separator to a pipe, but the real kicker was Excel for Mac's silly syntax, which meant the upload didn't parse beyond line 1. Got there in the end though. Thanks!!!

Hello -
Is there a typo in your URLSET entry? It looks like the schemalocation was pasted twice in a nested fashion.
When I convert a txt file into an xml file, I get:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!-- Generated by Mobilefish.com - http://www.mobilefish.com/services/sitemap_generator/sitemap_generator.php -->
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9
http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd/sitemap.xsd">
<url>



Note that the xsi:schemaLocation seems to repeat, like it was pasted inside itself.

Also, this does appear to be a valid url:
http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd

I was able to get my generated code to work, but here's a suggestion.

I uploaded a txt file of URLs. My URLs include the & symbol to separate the parameters.

Those & symbols needed to be replaced by &amp; before the XML file would validate correctly.

It would be nice if there was an option to make that substitution on the fly while generating the output file.

Thanks!
