Sorry, "garbage" was a bit broad... Suppose I put

**bold**
!!! heading

on a page. I get "strong br h3" as the feed. The text is missing, the
html not rendered. My feed reader displays html in other feeds.

Blog entries can contain links, formatted text and so on. Then it's
odd to see a bold word as **bold** in the feed reader.

My expectation was the following:
content=html -> looks the same as in your browser
content=text -> looks the same as if you copy the page to a text
editor (no styles, no links and so on)

If no feed reader converts wiki markup to html I don't see the point
sending wiki markup to a feed.

rsslist is executed from my admin account. Therefore blog.* pages can
be accessed, fetched to rss.blog, and displayed by rsslist. But if I
open rss.blog in a feed reader I am not logged in. Therefore blog.*
pages cannot end up in the feed unless I explicitly make them viewable
by guest.

I think this is just the way it should be and my confusion stemmed
from not noticing the authentication difference. When the RSS
solutions page is updated we should add a hint that nobody (as
clueless as myself) ever again tries to feed member-only pages –
whether or not they are displayed by rsslist which does not matter at
all.

Thanks again,
Markus
