Both <summary> and <content> in Atom feed
Hi,
How can I include both <summary>Except</summary> and <content>Full text</content> in the Atom 1.0 feed? The spesification allows for both to be pressent in an <entry>, but Textpattern does not (it appears).
Edit: Preferably like this:
<title type="text">Plain text title</title>
<summary type="html">Except with <em>entity escaped</em> tags.</summary>
<content type="xhtml"><div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Full and <em>rich</em> content!</div></content>Note the type change is refelcting how “advanced” the content is. The summaries from my site might contain som formatting. The main content will probably contain much, and rich formatting. It is also spesified for the intended media. All readers display title, some the summary, and some more advanced the entire content. This way all readers will be able to display something.

Go to your admin prefs and make sure Syndicate article excerpt (default is article body)? is set to Off.
The preference is not phrased very well. I’ll see about changing it to something more accurate.

Re: Both <summary> and <content> in Atom feed
Will this preference include both a summary, and the entire article? :/ Who knew… Thanks. :)
Is it possible to specify the text types for each tag as well?
There really should be a feed administrative preference panel somewhere. To add add additional tags, edit, and customise the feeds… Feed are very important to most news/blogs sites! Both RSS 2, and Atom 1 contains a lot of optional tags (such as icon, image, ttl, ..) that many publishers would find useful.

No, there isn’t (short of hacking files). You shouldn’t need to change them, though. ?

The summary and content is fine with the tex type, but the title should be text.

I don’t think text is a valid type for the title, since it might contain HTML entities.

Re: Both <summary> and <content> in Atom feed
The title should not contain HTML entities, and it should not be formatted as HTML. The reason why it is preferred to be type=“text” is because then it is ensured that every Atom enabled application can read at least a part of the feed…

Why not?
Titles are Textiled, so these:

This is news to me. Are you sure about that?

..says who? I believe it’s legit according to the spec, and an accurate reflection of the contents of Textpattern article titles. If there’s a good reason to change it I’m happy to investigate, but converting titles to plain text can’t necessarily be done reliably.

Pardon – it is run through Textile, but for a different purpose. Forgot about that.

It’s for backwards compability with Atom 0.3 enabled readers.
