We can do it two ways: 1) Use CDATA to include them all e.g. <description>An Foo depends on <![CDATA[<a href="http://pear.php.net/package/Bar">Bar</a>]]> for more complex printing</description> or 2) Use a namespace like the one for HTML or similar (DocBook, XML Link, etc.), or even the DC (Dublin Core), the Syndication, and/or Content. The last three are supported as extension modules in RSS 1.0 e.g. <item> <title>The Foo package</title> <link>http://pear.php.net/packages/Foo</link> <description>Useful when you need all those "foo" in your code</description> <dc:relation name='requires'>Depends on the Bar package</dc:relation> <content:encoded><![CDATA[See also: <a href="http://pear.php.net/packages/Bar">Bar</a>]]></content:encoded> </item> http://groups.yahoo.com/group/rss-dev/files/namespace.html I wrote the above manually and sort-of from memory (was talking about RSS recently that's how I learned about those modules), so I might have gotten one or more things wrong. > > > Any ideas, comments, better names for the WOGLON index? ;-) > > +1 > > pa ===== --- Jesus M.
