Hello, I'm just curious if it is possible to embed a link in RSS 0.91 in a similar manner to the way the tag works in html? Is that something handled in 0.91 or do I have to go to a different version of RSS? For some of my updates it would really add a lot to my feed if I could make those types of links.

This should work.

The only issue I see could be with the way the feed is parsed. IOW, if you are entering the data into a DB, and when the record for the body is retrieved, it is wrapped in a
, or if the entry is treated before being uploaded to the DB.


If that is the case, then it might not work.

Example,
The feed I created for my work when an entry is made, it is parsed by a program the encodes all the characters for HTML, that way no one can enter code that would run on our server.

So gets encoded to be:

<A href="http://your/page">

That prevents anyone from running code, but it also stops me from embedding links.

I hope this is helpful.
