DESCRIPTION

   This module tries to implement the creation of XML files conforming to
   the NewsML-G2 specification as published by the IPTC. It does not aim
   to implement the complete standard, but to cover the most common use
   cases in a best-practice manner.

   For the full specification of the format, visit
   http://www.newsml-g2.org/. For a quick introduction, you might prefer
   the Quick Start Guides
   <http://www.iptc.org/download?g2quickstartguides>.

GETTING STARTED

   To start, you need to create an instance of the item class of your
   choice, e.g. XML::NewsML_G2::News_Item_Text for a text story, or
   XML::NewsML_G2::News_Item_Picture for an image. Each of these classes
   might have some required attributes (e.g. title, language, provider),
   which you will have to provide when creating the instance, as well as a
   number of optional ones (e.g. note). While for some attributes scalar
   values will do, others will require further instances of classes, e.g.
   for provider you will need an instance of XML::NewsML_G2::Provider.
   Please see each class' documentation for details.

   Once you're done setting up your data structure, you have to create a
   writer instance in order to retrieve your DOM. For simple news items
   like text or picture, XML::NewsML_G2::Writer::News_Item will be the
   writer class to use.

CURRENT STATUS

   The implementation currently supports text, picture, video, audio,
   graphics, as well as multimedia packages and slideshows.

   Version 2.18 is the latest version of the standard supported by this
   software, and should be your first choice. Using versions 2.9, 2.12 and
   2.15 is deprecated, and support for it will beremoved in future
   releases.

DEPENDENCIES
