# Plugin code help

 * Hi all,
 * In a templete, when we want to display a link for the category and a comment 
   link for each post, we write this code:
 * <?php the_category(‘, ‘) ?>
    <?php comments_popup_link(‘No Comments »’, ‘1 Comment»’,‘%
   Comments »’); ?>
 * Now instead of this, I want to write a plugin which can generate XML code instead
   of HTML code.
 * Can someone tell me what should this code look like?
 * From my understanding, I should be writing a plugin PHP file with some function
   name and calling that function in the template code.
 * If that is correct, does anyone know where I can get some help to find the right
   code to place in the plugin PHP file for Category and Comment links?
 * Thanks.

 * Because, I am creating a Flash Frontend for WordPress. The XML generated will
   be used by Flash to display the content.
