Make extended RSS Feeds with the Sense To RSS tool without committing to a purpose made RSS Feed Editor application and without knowledge of both XML and HTML!

RSS feeds are edited in plain text within Sense, Silva Elm's tree structured document editor: the Sense To RSS tool transforms Sense "feed" documents to RSS XML.

Beginner templates for 0.91, 2.0, blogChannel and Apple itunes-podCast feeds are provided with the Sense To RSS tool to immediately create your first feed: annotations and specification links are provided to help speed entry of feed content.

Sense "feed" documents are tree structured with section and paragraph objects appropriately organised to allow transformation to RSS XML using the Sense To RSS tool.

RSS item descriptions can be structured using sections, paragraphs, bullets, (thumbnail) images, internet hyperlinks and email addresses to provide optional HTML styling wrapped into CDATA blocks of the feed output.

Extra RSS items are easily created by copy-paste replication within the Sense Content Browser view with all text editing carried out within the complementary Edit Workspace.

Feeds can be straightforwardly extended in plain text providing a level of future-proofing against RSS specification change and allows customization of the templates with additional feed entries and namespaces.

Application Notes within the Silva Elm website examples extensibility by the inclusion of the xmlns:atom namespace to a RSS "feed" document as well as providing more general information on how document objects relate to XML and HTML.

Sense To RSS is a simple to use tool designed with an intuitive user interface to create feeds from an initial selection of Sense document templates. The ready for Feed Validation output is displayed within an integral webbrowser view as either the raw XML or as a web page.

Requirements: .NET 2.0

What's new in this version: Added namespace extensibility support with additional templates for blogChannel and itunes-podCast.
