There seems to be a bug in this implementation this code wraps the <content> in a description call and will not render the content if descriptionTruncSize was set it should wrap the summary and not content in this check.
This code used by PhpGedView generates a <summary> that is way more than the 500 specified, but generates no <content> (see snippet below). Maybe my understanding is flawed, but my thinking is that the summary should be a truncated version of the content, and that the content should not be truncated.
$item = new FeedItem();
$item->title = $upcomingEvent[0];
$item->link = $SERVER_URL. "calendar.php?action=calendar";
$item->description = $upcomingEvent[2];
$item->descriptionTruncSize = 500;
$item->descriptionHtmlSyndicated = true;
$item->date = $upcomingEvent[1];
$item->source = $SERVER_URL;
$item->author = $author;
$item->authorURL = $feed->link;
$item->category = $pgv_lang["genealogy"];
$feed->addItem($item);
generates a descrip

if (empty($this->items[$i]->descriptionTruncSize)) {
$feed.= " <content". $temptype . ">". $tempdesc ."</content>\n";
}

I would have re-opened this, but do not have the rights to do that.

Look at http://diveintomark.org/feed/ (feedvalidator guy) and notice that most HTML but not all are stripped from the summary. It is probably some code that turns <li> into <p> and line breaks into <br/>, so it is probably not some generic code we can do. Should the summary and content be set separately?

Hi there,

It seems that <content> in ATOM are meant to store more than mere text data.

refer, http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/xml/library/x-atom10.html
"Listing 6. A simple list of images using Atom 1.0"

therefore, I decided to drop the <content> tags association with <summary>.
This means RSS <description> and ATOM <summary> are comparable and will contain the same data ($description).

I will add another method to handle <content> in ATOM, this method/variable will handle <content> attributes such as "type" and "src" to reflect the flexibility of the <content> tags :)

if the content is set for an RSS feed will it just be ignored?

unfortunately yes, because RSS has no equivalent tags :(

from the published rss standard, <description> tag is comparable to atom <summary>. RSS has no tag to store news content.

description, content, summary will not be truncated if
$item->descriptionHtmlSyndicated = true;

this is to ensure that no invalid html code generated.

makes sense, though it should be documented.
