We can either have a own field for summary or we use the first n characters of the report for the RSS description. > Title: PEAR Weekly Summary for week ending 30 July > Summary: 3 Stable Releases, 2 Beta Releases, User Autentication, Pear > Packages,Caching on XML RPC.... > > the latter could be preg'd from the <h3> tags.. > > I got the preview stuff working here.. - > http://pear.php.net/weeklynews.php/en/20020707.html Making the report static starts to sounds reasonable for me. But actually I'm a bit afraid that the markup may look inconsistent: Imagine you are on vacation and someone else writes weekly summaries: He will perhaps use another editor or prefer another markup. This will cause some problems because the page will look different than usually, which isn't a good thing IMO. How do you want to prevent that? (Well, you could actually stop going on vacation ;-). - Martin -- Martin Jansen - mail@martin-jansen.de http://martinjansen.com/
