New Atom Feed for Full Entries

August 11, 2004 at 12:55 am — Blogging

Due to popular demand, I’ve added an Atom feed for full entries. I’ve also added an Atom feed for summaries.

I will continue to publish only summaries in the RSS 1.0 and RSS 2.0 feeds.

Thanks! I hope this doesn’t mess with your information gathering too much. The half dozen of us who nudged you for a full feed, we appreciate it. :)

When I first read this announcement I was rather happy, since I’m not always online and so it’s easier for me to read a complete feed.

But then I saw the feed and noticed, that all the formatting is gone in the feed. Not even linebreaks and paragraphs are present.

It would be really great if you could add some formating to the complete feed.

If only my newsreader could process atom syntax. Why not use RSS for fulltext, too?

James, the main reason is that I haven’t figured out how to encode the HTML. My blogging system is mostly XSLT driven by Ant’s <style> task. I’ve spent many hours trying to convince it to emit encoded HTML or CDATA-wrapped HTML. Nothing I’ve tried so far has worked.

But there is one idea that I’ve thought of but not tried…

James, I’ve added a Full Entry feed for RSS2.0. I used the <content:encoded> method of adding content, so I hope that works with your reader.
