===Instructions===This extension can parse most popular kinds of RSS / RDF and Atom feeds. The simplest usage is: <nowiki><rss>http://examplesite.com/rss.xml</rss></nowiki> Optional parameters can be also be added in between the <nowiki><rss> and </rss></nowiki> tags. They should be separated by a pipe (|), just like in links and templates. Supported parameters include:* charset=... The charset used by the feed. iconv is used to convert this.* short Do not show the description text for each news item.* max=x Shows x most recent headlines.* highlight= term1 term2 The terms separated by a space are highlighted.* filter= term1 term2 Show only rss items containing at least one of the terms.* reverse display the rss items in reverse order A fuller example therefore might be: <nowiki><rss>http://slashdot.org/slashdot.rss|charset=UTF-8|short|max=5</rss></nowiki> ===Guidelines for Use===External RSS feeds should be used sparingly. Appropriate content includes:* News from Orthodox sources or tailoted for an Orthodox audience.* Parish news, and local Orthodox events notice boards. Please do not use this extension for blogfeeds -- check out [http://www.orthodoxblogs.com OrthodoxBlogs.com] for this purpose. Feeds deemed inappropriate by the sysops will be removed. All pages with external feeds should be added to <nowiki>[Category:NewsfeedsOrthodoxWiki]]</nowiki>. External feeds are licensed by their distributors, and not subject in any way to the OrthodoxWiki copyright.
