Hi

No probs with the generator all works great.

Except that I can't see anything to make it obey the rel="nofollow" statement in links.

Quite often I use the nofollow attribute to stop certain pages from getting indexed. With the current sitemaps I have to go and edit out these pages.

Could we have a switch in the configuration settings to allow this type of link to be obeyed.

Cheers

About rel="nofollow" i heard differential opinions. Robots see this links and pages, but Google PR is not transfer. Yahoo index this pages and ignore nofollow.

Basically, in case if the link is marked with rel="nofollow" attribute, it's considered to be insignificant or even undesirable to follow/index.
That's why our sitemap generator now supports that and it doesn't follow those links.
