Movable Type RSS Feeds - Full entries
Syam Kumar April 19, 2004 09:18 PM IST
The default RSS templates from Movable Type create feeds that contain only an excerpt of each blog entry. If the 'Entry Excerpt' field is blank, MT will auto-generate an excerpt from 'Entry Body', stripping all its HTML code.
Because of this, some of my blog entries looked weird in feed readers. I made a small change in the <description></description> tag inside <item></item> to include full entry and a link to comments.

<![CDATA[
<$MTEntryBody$>
<$MTEntryMore$>
<MTEntryIfAllowComments>
<p>
<a href="<$MTEntryPermalink$>#comments">
Comments
</a>
</p>
</MTEntryIfAllowComments>
]]>

Atom feed contains both 'Entry Body' and 'Extended Body', so there is nothing to change.
