Help:RSS

From InfoTodayWiki

Use one section between <rss> </rss> tags for each feed. The rss section may contain parameters separated by a pipe ("|"), just like links and templates.

These parameters are supported:

• charset=… The charset used by the feed. iconv is used to convert this. This is only needed for non-English feeds.
• short Do not show the description text for each news item.
• date Shows date/time stamp for each news item.
• max=x Shows x most recent headlines.
• highlight= term1 term2 The terms separated by a space are highlighted.
• filter= term1 term2 Show only RSS items containing at least one of the terms.
• filterout= term1 term2 Do not show any RSS items containing any terms
• reverse Display the RSS items in reverse order

The feed will only display unique titles.

For example, five recent results of Google Blog Search for Librarian AND Conference are shown below.

The feed would be entered this way:

<rss>http://blogsearch.google.com/blogsearch_feeds?hl=en&q=Librarian+Conference&ie=utf-8&num=10&output=rss|short|date|max=5</rss>
