[CentOS] XML to text

[Steve Campbell]

Thanks for all the answers. And thanks to Les for understanding the 
exact problem. I had Googled before asking. And yes, I found tons of 
info, even started the W3W tutorial. I'm new to XML and it's conversions.

My question was: is there anything already in Centos that handles the 
conversion. Not a specific solution, but the name of a package that 
would include what I needed to do this for me. Google doesn't always 
respond with Centos-specific answers, which is which I posted to this, 
the Centos, list.

I'll try and be more specific from now on so I don't ruffle feathers. 
Not sure what this list is for I guess.
