-;; A feed is really a Lisp structure as used by the `xml.el' package,
-;; without the parent `feed' element.
+;; It is possible to produce both Atom and RSS feeds.
;; A typical usage would look like this:
;; "http://example.org/hello"
;; "Hello the world!")
;;
-;; ; A text-only entry, with all the optional pieces of data
-;; (atom-add-text-entry
-;; my-atom-feed
-;; "Bonjour"
-;; "http://example.org/bonjour"
-;; "Bonjour à tout le monde !"
-;; ;; optional: the last modification time
-;; (date-to-time "2011-01-30 23:40:12")
-;; ;; optional: an identifier for this entry; a common way to generate it is
-;; ;; to use the domain name and the creation date of the entry.
-;; (atom-generate-id "http://example.org"
-;; (date-to-time "2011-01-30 10:01:05"))
-;; ;; optional: a summary for this entry
-;; "Bonjour, monde.")

;; (atom-add-xhtml-entry
