this stupid site that I'm working on now (yahoo! store site) was built with their 'store editor' (which is crap btw), and I need to make some pretty major changes. In order to do so, I have to make them using RTML (yahoo's proprietary mark-up language). Unfortunately there's not much good documentation about RTML (admittedly by yahoo!)...so I'm wondering if any of you have ever done anything with it and if so, would you be willing to help a poor soul in figuring some of this out?

Just looking on Books24x7.com and there are a couple of books that mention it for a chapter or so. It seems to be linked with XRML if you want to search for that stuff too.

I had found a book too, but I'll be damned if I'm paying $32 to help Pegleg.
I did however find
a decent yahoo page with references to the use of RTML (Real Time Markup Language).

yeah I've been there...
unfotunately I can't make any actual changes as yet as the client already has a site running that I can't screw up.
yahoo doesn't provide any kind of testing platform either.
uughhh!
what a nightmare.

<off-topicish>That's kinda suckish. They make a proprietary system and don't even offer a sandbox? Weak...</off-topicish>
Is there a way to develop a test page that doesn't interact with the store so you can see what the calls and objects do?

Oh, maybe there are different ones or maybe nobody knows what this stuff is

These books are referring to "Rule Triggering Markup Language".

There was nother RTML discription (I forgot what it was). I may have been totally off using Real Time Markup Language (thought I thought I got it off of Yahoo's doc page).

actually you're both wrong:
RTML stands for: Worthless POS Pretend To Be Some Kind Of Programming Language

Wait, something doesn't quite add up here.
