These are CGI scripts. Setup in your local WWW server.
To reduce server load, the RSS feed is cached. Therefore the RSS feed is delayed by a few hours. But the text feed is up to date.
Because my favorite RSS/Atom aggregator cannot handle TXT feeds, I created TXT → RSS converter script.
#!/usr/local/bin/ruby require 'rss/2.0' require 'time' require 'open-uri' def parse(block) hash = {} block.split(/\n/).map{|line| k, v = line.split(/: /,2); hash[k]=v} hash end text = open("http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki?action=rc;raw=1").read header, *items = text.split(/\n\n/) feed = RSS::Rss.new("2.0") header = parse(header) chan = RSS::Rss::Channel::new chan.title=header["title"] chan.description = header["description"] chan.link = header["link"] feed.channel = chan for i in items i = parse(i) item = RSS::Rss::Channel::Item.new item.title = i["title"] item.link = i["link"] author = item.author = i["generator"] item.description = (i["description"] || "") + "<br><br>(by #{author})" item.date = Time.parse(i["last-modified"]) feed.channel.items << item end puts "Content-Type: application/xml" puts puts feed
Replace
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki?action=rc;raw=1
with
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki?action=rc;days=7;all=0;showedit=1;raw=1
in above script.
I don’t understand. Are you parsing the HTML? Why are you not using the TXT feed with the showedit=1 parameter?
http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki?action=rc;days=7;all=0;showedit=1;raw=1
Yes, that script parses the HTML. I simply did not know TXT feed with minor edits. thanks.
