Hi I'd like to look after this issue please
I am trying to find a template file which generates the news feed but it looks like the news feed content is hard coded into the index.md file:
<!-- Commented out between workshops -->
<li class="announcement"><article>
<h1><a title="OCaml Users and Developers Workshop"
href="/meetings/ocaml/2020/">OCaml 2020</a></h1>
<p>August 28, 2020</p>
<a title="OCaml Users and Developers Workshop"
href="/meetings/ocaml/2020/">
<img alt="" src="/img/announcement.svg" class="svg" />
<img alt="" src="/img/announcement.png" class="png" />
</a>
</article></li>
<li class="announcement"><article>
<h1><a title="Release of OCaml {{! get LATEST_OCAML_VERSION !}}"
href="/releases/{{! get LATEST_OCAML_VERSION !}}.html"
>Release of OCaml {{! get LATEST_OCAML_VERSION !}}</a></h1>
<p>February 24, 2021</p>
<a title="Release of OCaml {{! get LATEST_OCAML_VERSION !}}"
href="/releases/{{! get LATEST_OCAML_VERSION !}}.html">
<img alt="" src="/img/announcement.svg" class="svg" />
<img alt="" src="/img/announcement.png" class="png" />
</a>
</article></li>
<li class="announcement"><article>
<h1><a title="OCaml Weekly News"
href="/community/cwn/" >OCaml Weekly News</a></h1>
<p>{{! cmd script/weekly_news --date !}}</p>
<a title="OCaml Weekly News" href="/community/cwn/">
<img alt="" src="/img/announcement.svg" class="svg" />
<img alt="" src="/img/announcement.png" class="png" />
</a>
</article></li>
</ul>
{{! cmd script/rss2html -n 4 --headlines http://planet.ocaml.org/rss20.xml !}}
<p><a href="community/planet/">More...</a></p>
</section>
</div>
<div class="row">
<section class="span6 condensed">
<h1><a href="learn/taste.html">A taste of OCaml</a></h1>
((! cat template/tryocaml.html !))
((! input template/front_code_snippet.html !))
<p>OCaml is a lot more powerful than this simple example shows. See <a href="/learn/taste.html">more examples</a>!</p>

<section class="span6 condensed">
<h1><a href='http://opam.ocaml.org/packages/index-date.html'>Packages</a></h1>
((! input template/front_package.mpp !))

Is there a template which generates this markdown which I should be altering to change the markup? I'm guessing the news feed gets updated regularly so it doesn't make sense to change this markup directly. Otherwise I can try to to fix this issue with javascript if the maintainers of the project aren't opposed to this approach.
Hii @ozmos, I am an Outreachy applicant here. So better ask mentors. Thank you for showing interest . @patricoferris @pitag-ha kindly look into this.
Thanks for the brilliantly explained issue @shreyaswikriti -- very clear 👍
There's a linked PR in the works https://github.com/ocaml/ocaml.org/pull/1506
Thanks @shreyaswikriti I have received some useful feedback in the pull request.
On the https://www.ocaml.org/ page, there seemed to be a confusing UI on the news column.
here is the proposed solution
