Looking for a simple HTML sitemap creator

May 28, 2008 9:58 AM

I'm looking for an application that will scan a website (or subsection) and pull out page titles and the URLs into an HTML site map.

Or a tool that would convert XML sitemaps into HTML. I'm trying to create a content audit document using the sitemap as a table of contents. Each page title in the TOC will link to a questionnaire about the content on that page.

Will this do what you want? (no idea how well/if it works, found by googling "xml2html")

Sorry no one is answering your question.

I don't know an exact match for what you're looking for either, although I'd love to have one. I was trying to do this exact same thing the other night.

The best I came up with was Xenu Link Sleuth, a Windows-only application that spiders a site with the purpose of finding broken links. It exports HTML "reports" with a "sitemap" option that is essentially a list of all the site's URLs although probably not formatted the way you want it. It's definitely a great application though ... just perhaps not what you're looking for.

You might want to pester the folks at Webmaster World and report back.

You know, what a minute ... if you Google "generate HTML sitemap" that might give you what you're looking for. I've used xml-sitemap before and I think it worked as I'd wanted it to.
