Hi There! I guess the first thing to clarify is that RedDot only publishes static content, therefore the RSS feed (published out from RedDot) will be a static XML file containing all of the pages connected to the 'lst_newsrelases' list.
In the example you have provided, the RSS feed would have a whole lot of pages connected to the list element (best done with keyword assignment so that whenever a new page is created as it will be automatically linked to the feed) Using the <!IoRangeList> block mark, RedDot will loop through each page connected to the list one at a time - and where it comes across an element that has been used within the linked page (e.g. stf_date) it will be replaced with the data from that corresponding page element. The resulting output will be static XML. By the way, you wont be able to properly debug the out of the feed until you publish the XML file to your server (as you will just come across a lot of encoding issues/errors in SmartEdit mode). Also, you may need to look into using the HTMLConvert Table file (check your user doco) to properly encode any 'dodgy' characters as XML is unforgiving if it comes across any unknown characters!!!
