Interactive Quickstart

This section aims to get you up-to-speed quickly on how to create your own feeds. First Feed - First Item

To put a feed in a page, enter something like the following: <startFeed />

Description of my feed.

Item A

Here is the content for Item A.

--Kludge 16:42, 16 January 2008 (EST)

<endFeed />

This creates a feed with the description "Description of my feed." The feed has a single item, titled "Item A", which contains the body text "Here is the content for Item A". When you submit this text, the portion reading "--Kludge 16:42, 16 January 2008 (EST)" is converted to your user name and the current time. So something like this:

--Anon 08:42, 4 December 2006 (MST)

This is the recommended method syntax for creating feeds. Adding Items

To add items to an existing feed (like the one in the previous example), simply add another wiki section between the startFeed and endFeed tags.

Continuing the previous example, you might enter:

<startFeed />

Description of my feed.

Item B

Brand New! I just made a new Item!

--Kludge 16:42, 16 January 2008 (EST)

Item A

Here is the content for Item A.

--Anon 08:42, 4 December 2006 (MST)

<endFeed />

Note "Item B", which now appears above the old "Item A". You are encouraged to put new feed items at the top of the feed since this will most closely match the generated feed as well as reader expectations.

That's it! For more detailed information regarding the extension's functionality, see the Technical Details section.
