 Hi All,

 I currently generate a simple rss.xml file for syndication from my site,
 containing nothing more than the subject of the post and a link to the
 article on my site.

 I'd like to syndicate the the actual content of each of the posts, but
 as I understand it RSS / XML is somewhat demanding in what it expects of
 how various html entities are treated etc?

 I don't suppose, by any chance, that there are any PHP tools that can be
 easily factored in to a process to take content that would include
 normal HTML (ie DIV and SPAN tags, links, TABLEs etc)?

Why don't you use htmlspecialchars() and utf8_encode() for this?

Brice

 Failing that, does anyone know of a good guide on what steps need to be
 taken to create a valid RSS feed where the content contains HTML?

 Any help appreciated!

 Much warmth,

 Murray

Why dont you look at other feeds see how they do this?


Enclosing the HTML data within a cdata section should suffice!
