Have you been asleep in a cave the last three years?
Briefly, its called R(eally) S(imple) S(yndication) which is expressed in
XML and is primarily used to enable linked text references to remote content
to be loaded into a page. Check out Wikipedia for a lengthy description of
RSS.

An RSS feed is basically a bunch of xml created by marketers for the purpose
of further spamming up the Internet and making lots of money by selling
seminars that -- tell people how to create RSS feeds!

Really, in a nutshell, its just a bunch of Xml that contains titles, http
links and descriptions of content on a site. Most commonly you would subcribe
to these in My Yahoo!, My Msn, Google customized home page, My AOL, Bloglines
and other tools.
The XML gets transformed into readable entries on a web page.

Hallo list, I don't know if this is a apropriate Newsgroup for this thread but I found it via google and there are already some RSS question in here so I'm just asking: I have written a RSS Feed which fetches the list of new Extensions for the CMS Typo3 (www.typo3.org) and stores them in a database. Whenever somebody requests the RSS Feed the Feed XML is generated out of the database.

I have a script that has been modified from one that I found on the internet to display RSS feeds in html. The script works fine for most RSS feeds but there are a number that it fails on with the error "End tag 'head' does not match the start tag 'meta'". Does any one on here have any experience with this? The script is shown below, the Neowin feed works but the google feed does not. Any help would be appreciated.

The fact that vertical tab and form feed exist both in the basic source character set and the basic execution character set suggests to me that there is a class of display devices where vertical tab and form feed produce a predictable and consistent (among different devices) behaviour. So what are these devices and what is the behaviour ? For old printers , form feed presumably moves to the next page but vertical tab is a mystery to me.
