Thanks, Jim. Related to that, the UI/Core group has a directory in the TSSG 'Files --> Android Project' area called 'Core' that contains some files we're working with. One is 'RSSitems.rtf' and contains some of the <item> elements in a feed from a few days ago. The 'items' are raw RSS, so some components are not immediately recognizeable, but it's good to know that > means the > character and < means the < character. These would have named tags (e.g. class, div) between them. Tag content is then beween a <tag> </tag> pair. -julie Julie (Dingee) Carwellos Web and IT Project Analyst, User Experience and Interaction Designer LinkedIn - http://www.linkedin.com/in/jdingeecarwellos --- On Thu, 9/23/10, Jim Cant <cant_jim@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: From: Jim Cant <cant_jim@xxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [tssg-tech] description of RSS format - this time with link To: "tssg tech" <tssg-tech@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>, TSSG-Chelmsford@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Date: Thursday, September 23, 2010, 3:39 PM I found this a helpful and concise description of the RSS standard. It helps if you're conversant in XML http://www.rssboard.org/rss-specification Look at the descriptions of what you can put in the <description> part of the <item> element. jim Note: Next week I'll stop posting to both lists; Android project postings will go only the the tech list.
