Don't use encoded HTML in the description. Use CDATA as per XML specs to significantly decrease file size. You'll only need to escape user's attempts to break feed by issuing ]]>
I know about it. But as I know too on some RSS agregators it's not work.

Who cares if RSS 2.0 native author requires an email of the author? Well, I guess that doesn't really matter since it could be adjusted by any user in their template.
But I see.
1. See RSS 2.0 specification to <author>. It need author e-mail.
2. I test more then 20 RSS agregators. "dc:subject" work best then "category" at all.

1. It use in NewzCrawler to make NNTP-style tree
2. About <guid> look in RSS 2.0 specification.
You also can modify rss_body.tpl: replace dc:subject and dc:creator
to category and author, remove <guid>, use CDATA and so on.
But I try to give complex valid solution that woked in most RSS agregators so I don't change template.
P.S. In ver. 2.3 I'll use 3 user-selected formats: HTML-encoded, CDATA and plain-text. But default format must be HTML-encoded. I write about it in Russian week or more ago. This is part of new rss_config.php for ver. 2.3.0. (at work now):Code: Select all
// Output format. Can be reset by user with using 'show' key. For ex. show=b - turn bbCode off, show=B turn bbCode on $rss_config=array( 'bbCode'=>true, // [b] Parse bbCode, if set to false - remove it. 'show_smiles'=>true, // [s] Parse smiles, if set to false show as text 'user_sig'=>true, // [u] Add user signature to post 'img'=>true, // [i] Show image in feed. Set false to skip all img tags. 'format'=>true, // [f] Using inline style in tags 'UseRE'=>true, // [r] Show RE: in subject 'show_message'=>true, // [m] Show message in RSS 'HTML'=>true, // [h] Show message as HTML. If set to false it'll be shown as plain text. 'CDATA'=>false, // [c] Show message in CDATA brackets // Next data can not be overwriten by user 'message_limit'=>false, // Limit message len in chars 'message_len'=>1000 // Max message len );
