Script to Generate RSS Feeds

2024-02-24

1 Since my last blog post I've decided that I was not happy with just
an update rss feed. So I've created a basic bash script to generate
full RSS feeds with the article contained within and not just the
link and title. How I've made my script work is by taking the folder
containing my .html pages for my blogs and parsing the webpages
within for the required information to generate a RSS feed. This
script is active on this website and is generating its rss feeds.

2 Links for each item in the .xml file is generated from taking the
associated html file name in the directory and adding the domain name
and directory path. Titles for each item in the .xml file are
generated from taking what's between the h1 tag of the associated
html file in the directory. Pubdate for each item is generated by
taking what's between the time tags of the associated html file in
the directory (dates must be in the YYYY-MM-DD format in the html
documents). Description is generated from taking from what's between
the article tag of the associated html file in the directory.

3 I've added a picture/link of the script below. If you want to use
this script make sure to replace what's between the " " for
posts_directory with your path to the directory containing the blog
posts you want to convert to a RSS feed. Image of RSS script to
