<[[Brennen]]> Brent asked me to provide an RSS feed for p1k3.com, so I'm reading a bit about the format (or formats, as it turns out - there are at least 7 of them) with a view to producing a simple feed out of the "new" updates that normally go on the front page. * http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2002/12/18/dive-into-xml.html * [http://diveintomark.org/archives/2004/02/04/incompatible-rss dive into mark: The Myth of RSS compatibility]. * http://webreference.com/xml/column13/ * http://www.perl.com/pub/a/2001/11/15/creatingrss.html _much later_... [http://p1k3.com/feed http://p1k3.com/imgs/feedicon.png] p1k3 now offers a more or less functional AtomSpecification feed at [http://p1k3.com/feed p1k3.com/feed]. It's a dirty and profoundly incorrect repurposing of previously existing CGI, but it [http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A//p1k3.com/feed validates] and works as a live bookmark in MozillaFirefox. Here is a Perl module to convert named character entities [http://golem.ph.utexas.edu/~distler/blog/NumericEntities.html to numeric] (MathML::Entities). This is a useful fix if you're just dumping XHTML into an XML feed format where named entities will cause validators & parsers to choke.
