 * Hello Community,
 * I’ve been searching for a means to create dynamic XML files from certain categories
   and I haven’t found the solution yet.
 * This is for a Newspaper style site.
 * So, as an example, I have a category for NEW PRODUCTS. I need an XML document
   specifically for the category “New Products” that is propagated live as stories
   are added to it.
 * Any help?
 * Sincerely,
    Greg

 * You basically want feed output saved to a file. You could request the feed via
   code, capturing the output to a buffer instead of outputting it. Then simply 
   write the buffer content to a file.

 * Hello bcworkz,
 * Unfortunately (for me) – this is way out of my scope of ability.
 * It seems like you’re saying that it would have to be uniquly coded. I’m surprised
   a plugin hasn’t been developed for this yet. I’d think it would come up a lot
   for WP users.
 * Of course there are a lot of plugins that create XML files – but they are targeted
   to SEO. None are creating unique XML documents based on the category IDs.
 * Thank you for your reply, bcworkz.
 * Sincerely,
    Greg
