Re: Converting HTML to RSS

Further down the road...

First a took a list of links, and added them to
an item using [CDATA.

Works in Firefox (Sage) and Opera, but not in:

Feedreader
Snarfer
Google Reader
RSS Reader
Wizz (Firefox)
CustomXML
Awasu
Pluck
or
IE7 (Beta 3)

Maybe they don't like the [CDATA.  Fine,
Used Firefox RSS Editor to create simple
form:

Item
Title
Link
Description

Same results.

Snarfer reads Lockergnome's Feed which includes
links and is written (looks like anyways) XHTML.

I know I've got online readers and aggregators as
an option, but, I try to avoid them like the plague
because I don't want to social network.  I get nervous
about putting my stuff online, because I just don't
want to share what I do.

I've got my private life and my public life and
I'd like very much to keep the two seperate and 
distinct - thank you.

I guess the best question I can think of, at this
point to ask is, is there such a thing as generic
RSS code which will have the greatest degree of
cross compatibility among readers or is it just
basically a crap shoot?

What are the basic dos and don'ts and what should
be avoided like the plague?

It seems that the one thing that's consistent,
at least in what I've come across in coding,
operating systems, software, and browsers,
hardware and driver compatibility is that standards 
aren't.

Whatever fixes one problem may create two or three
more in the process.

Am I asking too much to hope for perhaps some
common (cross platform) denominators or is that too 
much of a Holy Grail?
