Help:RSS Extension

[edit] What is It?

The RSS extension allows you to embed RSS and ATOM feeds on an individual page. It is based upon MetaWikiPedia:User:Mutante/RSSFeed.

[edit] How to Use

To display an RSS feed in a page, specify a feed to include using the following syntax in the edit box:

<rss>URL</rss>

You can optionally specify the following parameters following a '|' (pipe) character immediately after the URL.

  • number - the number of items to display. If the number is 0 or undefined, all items will be displayed
  • short - do not show the descriptive text for an entry. The entry will be shorter.

An example:

<rss>http://planet.case.edu/feed.atom|number=5|short</rss>

would display the short version of the five most recent entries from Planet Case.
