I don't really think this list includes a lot of trolls or flamers, but I just
want to be cautious. So
please, only include objective/dispassionate comments.
I have XSL that transforms a (RSS|Atom) feed into a photo gallery (a la Douglas
Bowman's http://
stopdesign.com/templates/photos/ excellent XHTML+CSS galleries).
This isn't a flame or a disparagement on Dave Winer excellent RSS work. Trolls
and Flames ... look
elsewhere!
Ok, that said, here is my XSLT question: RSS's <description> element only
allows for (AFAIK) escaped
(x)html. But my transformation *needs* to traverse the description element.
B/C it is a feed of /
photos/, I need to find and parse certain <img> elements and I need to generate
XHTML gallery pages.
Escaped (x)html does not allow that.
I know that, using the XHTML namespace, Atom allows for <xhtml:*> elements in
<content>. I have
experimented in using valid UNescaped XHTML in the RSS' <description> element
and both bloglines and
opera display it appropriately. But I loathe the fact that the RSS feed does
not validate.
If I convert the RSS feed to Atom (w/UNescaped XHTML), then it validates AND
displays correctly.
Great!
So ... I would like to know if anyone has done syndication and what your
experiences might reveal. I
realize that I could keep a "master" XML document and generate both RSS and
Atom, but please I only
want to keep 1 gallery/syndication XML file.
Any insights?
