Re: [Simplog-devel] diferents RSS feeds by category

[Jeremy A. <ash...@13...>]

If you are passing HTML in an RSS/RDF feed, You usually either encode 
the HTML by translating any special characters (<,>,&,etc) when 
generating the feed. 

If you use Atom, you set the content type attribute of the content tag 
and just place HTML within.  Atom parsers are supposed to be smart 
enough to parse out the HTML.

I don't mind having mulitple feed types, as it is common across alot of 
sites.  I like to give endusers flexibility in what they can do.  I know 
that I don't like to be limited to one way of doing things. :)
