Hello,
This is my first time working with RSS but I am fluent with XML/XSL. I have a RSS feed that I am pulling from a list
in Sharepoint. The sample XML is below.
The RSS description element parses the various columns (Body, Expires, Attachments) that are
in the
Sharepoint list automatically. I know that from the list I can control which fields are included
in the description, but this is not what I am looking to do.
Is there any way to force the fields to come through
in an XML element format instead of the CDATA that converted to HTML? For example, I may want to check a priority field and if it is important when applying the XSL I would bold red it or something. Since this is
in the HTML/CDATA format it makes it messy to parse that field.
