 * Hi
 * I was wondering if anyone know of a plugin that adds a visual editor of an XML
   file to the Admin Panel, so that a user (preferably with the correct role) can
   add, change and delete data and then update the XML file by clicking something
   like “Update XML”?
 * Basically, the functionality already exists; if you add a plugin that is only
   a .php file and an XML, you can then edit the XML from the Edit Plugin section.
   But I think it would really help the user to have a more graphic overview.
 * I’ll gladly take any advice, and if there’s no plugin, I plan to write one myself,
   but could use a few pointers in the right direction as this would be my first
   real plugin.
 * Cheers and many thanks in advance.
 * / Carl-Johan

 * Hi Carl-Johan,
 * I got exactly the same question. I was wondering if you already found a solution
   or did you write a plugin?
 * Or does someone else knows a way to do this?

 * Hi Jarno
 * I ended up writing the functionality myself, but I haven’t had time to make it
   a proper plugin yet. Not sure if or when I will get that either, so if you are
   in need of that right now I can’t make any promises. All I can say is I figured
   it out, and it was not that complicated, there is quite a lot written about saving
   content to XML using a standard form and POST, and then you need to make the 
   other way around work to, displaying the XML content in a clear and understandable
   way. I know I found a couple of good blog posts but it’s been quite a while now
   so sorry, I can’t remember them.
