I have noticed this problem as well but haven't thought of a solution yet. I think something like your first suggestion point might work. I think the easiest (but hackiest) way to do this would be to request users of Firn that for content to show up in an RSS feed their layouts must use a [:main ...] html tag - because the main tag should only exist once per html document, after everything has been rendered and the XML is ready to be built; Firn could look for the main tag and extract a sub string that includes everything between <main> ... </main> tags and have it constitute the rss feed description key. That might be worth trying as the easiest approach first.
I'm always happy to receive pull requests. The repo readme has a link to a Discord channel where folks sometimes come and pair program on issues or ask questions, so feel free to drop by there if you have the bandwidth; otherwise I'll try and get to this in the coming week or two.
The RSS feed file is filled with the whole HTML content of articles.
However, using the whole HTML including "article-unrelated" content (the CSS files, the script tags, the navbar, ...) breaks my RSS reader. Here is a screenshot of the RSS file read with Brief on Firefox with the dark theme enabled. See screenshot
I think of several ways to cover this :
In either case, the config could evolve from the
:enable-rss?boolean to:firn-rssbeing false/nil when rss is disabled and a map with richer tuning when enabled, just like for:firn-tocWhat is you insight on this ? Let me know if I can contribute one way or the other, if I can allocate a bit of bandwidth on this.
