Malte,

https://openacs.org/xowiki/?rss

See http://media.wu-wien.ac.at/download/xowiki-doc/ for more ways to query for RSS.

I'll try to figure out how to get an RSS link on every page.

According to the documentation I guess {{adp portlets/rss-button}} should give you the RSS button.

As for the queries, this works nice, now I am just wondering if I could get the Feed in HTML, as bloglines provides the new entry as one large line.

Last but not least, is there a Wiki "DIFF" function which would highlight the changes in the RSS feed ?

One can make the button in many different ways, the link (that dave posted) is quite simple to use wherever you want. The adp-macro is just a conveniance function...

The rss-content is per definition plain text. However, there is as well a weblog-style interface for the content. https://openacs.org/xowiki/pages/en/weblog

oacs.org needs an update of the mktree.js file, which has by default the problem of making multiple + symbols when loaded multiple times. I have fixed this problem in mktree.js some time ago, just updateing should help...

no, there is no Wiki "DIFF" function which highlights the changes in the RSS feed. i am not sure what you imagine, since the RSS feed is typically providing new entries, and RSS itself contains only plain text (no HTML), so coloring
the entries is not possible. If someone writes a good HTML-diff function, it could be technically possible to provide a link from the the RSS-feed to show some differences...

With regards to the rss-content, I thought that it would be possible to choose HTML due to the RSS feed generated from TUAW (http://www.tuaw.com/rss.xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?xml-stylesheet href="http://feeds.tuaw.com/~d/styles/rss2full.xsl" type="text/xsl" media="screen"?><?xml-stylesheet href="http://feeds.tuaw.com/~d/styles/itemcontent.css" type="text/css" media="screen"?><rss xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/" xmlns:itunes="http://www.itunes.com/dtds/podcast-1.0.dtd" xmlns:feedburner="http://rssnamespace.org/feedburner/ext/1.0" version="2.0">

..... many more lines ....

As for the DIFF, I imagined getting the new HTML page with the background of the changed pieces highlighted. But I guess the link to an HTML-diff function would be fine. OTOH not something I really need, just thinking out loud.
