I posted some XSL stylesheets for munging Atom (0.3)
— into
RSS 1.0
and
RSS 2.0
. At the moment there are only stylesheets for munging so-called
minimal
Atom feeds. I will get around to the fancier feeds, but don't hold your breath. If someone wants to take the work and run with it, please feel free to do so.
Update: Well, this proved to be a pretty trivial task. I have munged about 98% of a
maximal
Atom feed into
RSS
1.0. I don't expect the
multipart content
feed or the
RSS
2.0 stylesheet to be anymore complicated. I guess I will try and post all of this tomorrow morning.
Up your date: So, it's all done. Save the widget to convert a
W3CDTF
date string to a
RFC822
date string which is making me feel, well, funky. Fortunately,
someone else has already done most of the heavy lifting
. Oh yeah, and some kind of kludge to deal with the fact the
XSL
spec seems to be seriously brain-dead when it comes to generating
<![CDATA[ ]]>
sections. But not tonight — there is a hockey game to watch...
Is that a date in your pocket? Steve Ball is my hero, even if the
markup:cdata-section
template is broken. And it goes without saying that the logic for fussing with dates in
RSS
2.0 will result in bug reports. Life sucks — but often less than date processing. I will finish up some rudimentary documentation and post a tar ball this afternoon (Sunday.)

Please god, can we find something else to argue about now?
