This application converts several OpenMS XML formats (featureXML, consensusXML, and idXML) to mzTab.

pot. predecessor tools	→ MzTabExporter →	potential successor tools
Any tool producing one of the input formats	→ MzTabExporter →	External tools (MS Excel, OpenOffice, Notepad)

See the mzTab specification for details on the format.

Experimental classes:: This algorithm and underlying format is work in progress and might change.

Note: Currently mzIdentML (mzid) is not directly supported as an input/output format of this tool. Convert mzid files to/from idXML using IDFileConverter if necessary.

The command line parameters of this tool are:

MzTabExporter -- Exports various XML formats to an mzTab file.
