Well, the feed could still be autogenerated even though a human is writing HTML by hand. Most weblogging systems allow the author to write his post as HTML. In the simplest case, a feed of such entries would be automatically generated but would still contain human-authored HTML. > (Of course, I'm probably the loser who would actually write my > own feeds by hand! :-)) Not really… :-) I run my weblog by editing a single Atom (0.3 as of yet, need to convert…) feed that contains all entries ever, from which a stylesheet generates the public feed and all the webpages. But I never need to write any entities, since that file is UTF-8 and I edit it with gvim. (Insert “UTF-8 rocks” fanboy praise.) Regards, -- Aristotle Pagaltzis // <http://plasmasturm.org/>
