                      TAXONOMY CSV IMPORT/EXPORT
                      ==========================


-- SUMMARY --
  ---------

This module allows to import or export taxonomy from or to a CSV
(comma-separated values) local or distant file or a copy-and-paste text.

When you want to quick import a non-standardized vocabulary, for example an
old thesaurus or a simple list of children, synonyms, related terms,
descriptions or weights of a set of terms, Taxonomy CSV is simpler to use. It
can manage internationalized vocabularies with i18n_taxonomy, a submodule of
i18n module (see http://drupal.org/project/i18n).


Some other modules allow to import and export taxonomies:
* Taxonomy XML (http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_xml) is perfect for
  standardized taxonomies and vocabularies importation. Despite its name, it can
  import csv files too, but only if they are ISO 2788 formatted.

* Migration modules, see http://groups.drupal.org/node/21338 and
  http://groups.drupal.org/soc-2006-import-export-api.


Taxonomy CSV is a more specialised tool which allows more precise tuning.
It's designed to be used when the website is building. After that, it's
recommended to disable it.

-- WARNING --
  ---------

Use at your risk. Even if many informations are displayed, taxonomy_csv module
does not tell you what it's gonna do before it's doing it, so make sure you have
a backup so you can roll back if necessary.

It's recommended to use the "autocreate" or the "duplicate vocabulary" choices
to check your csv file before import in a true vocabulary.
