All the RSS 1.0 feeds for notices should include an extra element to hold the rendered HTML for a notice.

This will allow downstream users to have clickable links without a lot of post-processing.

Hashtags should be RSS categories
Hashtag HTML links should have rel="tag" attribute

If dent is a reply an 'As a reply to...' link should be appended to the HTML content.

As Laconica knows the long URLs shortened links have long href="" in RSS. anchor text can still be shortened URL for better reading.

I pushed this to darcs; it's live on Identi.ca.

The extra requests are their own tickets; #864 and #865.

Test with Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; de; rv:1.9.0.4) Gecko/2008102920 Firefox/3.0.4

Atom works fine. Links are rendered.
RSS contains 'RDF bag' but content is not rendered in FF.

The same with RSS reader BlogBridge.

Additional (same) RSS problem with RSS for /all.
I am sure there are more places where 'only' RSS is or will be generated.

Reopening

A) The HTML rich ATOM output is needed everywhere where an RSS output exists
B) The RSS output should be as HTML rich as the user ATOM feed already is.

+ from above: "The extra requests are their own tickets; #864 and #865."

And #884 gives an idea/checklist where to enhance RSS or add ATOM feeds.

All RSS feeds I can find have HTML in them at present (0.9.x), as . However things seem to mostly pull the instead, which contains things like "bleeper's status on Friday, 09-Apr-10 14:47:01 PDT".

It looks like the is actually an extension module, not part of the RSS 2 base spec; it may be that feed readers *would* pick it up if we included the proper XML namespace declaration.

I think we have HTML in all our feeds.
