I've been doing a little tinkering with the rss fee plugin. Perhaps I
can get some feedback. As per my new code the overall feed title is
derived from

1) parameter title if set in rssfeed function
2) page title if set
3) title snippet (from skin or site snippet pages)

The rss description is generated from the output parameter with the
following options:

1) if text, the plain source of the page
2) if html, the page source rendered into html (most markup rules)
3) if the BOLTrss + value is defined as a function, it takes the
output of that function (given a page name)
4) if some data variable (like description or teaser or whatever) that
data value is used
5) if not set (or set to teaser) it takes the first 250 chars of text
and exports (site.config, change with rsslength: ###).

I also added a default teaser function as an example. But I'm not sure
if the teaser should be rendered to html or left as plain text. And
either way, what happens if the text is cut off right in the middle of
a markup or something? Currently it is plain text followed by ...

Well, I just uploaded the new script for testing and feedback. This
really adds some nice functionality. Let me know if you find any
problems, or have input on the default behavior, or if there are any
options I missed. I think the thing is pretty cool.

BTW, to change the default settings you edit the code.skin.rss. I
guess we need to change that too, so you can have different feeds
generate different kinds of output. I'll think about that some more.
Anyway, it's a step...

Cheers,
Dan
