Subject: | Cannot access the <content> element in RSS feeds |
In many RSS feeds, the <description> element contains a summary of the
article while the <content> element has the full text.
(THIS APPLIES TO RSS ONLY NOT ATOM.)
Calling the description() method on the rss item returns the
<description> element rather than the <content> element even if the more
comprehensive <content> element is present.
The description() method should either return the content element if it
is available (for Atom description() already does this) or a content
method should be added.
It is possible to work around this by sub classing
XML::FeedPP::RSS::Item and overriding the description method but sub
classing XML::FeedPP is very complicated see bug 58422#.
