ATOM Feed Internals

Each web has a WebAtom topic which includes part of this WebAtomBase topic. This topic is the base for the ATOM feed and generates an WebAtom 1.0 feed.

The WebAtom topic in each web contains the following text:

<title><nop>%WIKITOOLNAME%'s <nop>%BASEWEB% web</title>
<subtitle>(the description of the web, plain text with no markup and no wikiwords). Foswiki is the Free and Open Source Wiki.</subtitle>
%INCLUDE{"%SYSTEMWEB%.WebAtomBase"}% <!--
   * Set SKIN = rssatom
   * Set COVER = rssatom
-->

Below part is included by each WebAtom topic:

%STARTINCLUDE%<link rel="self" type="application/atom+xml" href="%SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/%BASEWEB%/%BASETOPIC%"/>
