In my work with victual , the same of the constant limitations is the template system. I want users to have as much check as workable over their digests, and while the existing template system hasn't been cross, it’s far from ideal.

Currently users can exhale an optional header and footer template and a 'per notice' model. So their per-item pattern might look something like this:

<p><a href="%URL%">%crown,40%</a>.. %DESCRIPTIONPLAIN%</p>

to some understandable. A paragraph for each jotting in the reduce with a relationship using a truncated title (to 40 characters) followed by a HTML-stripped description. But.. for anything more complex than this, it begins to suck. So, I've invented a vernacular called MoFo. It stands for "Markup Output organization" but the name is as much witty as everyday. It is markup itself, so doesn't have the worst select. It'll do destined for in this day though. With MoFo you can do things like this:

<% foreach source in sources %>

    <p><b><%= source->possession %></b></p>

    <ul>

    <% foreach opponent in fountain-head.entries %>

        <li><a href="<%= entry->url %>"><%= entry->championship %></a></li>

    <% end %>

    </ul>

<% end %>

It’s basically a more commodious terminology which will suffer me (as well as advanced FeedDigest users) to blossom more templates fit FeedDigest users in a quicker time. I'll also be masterly to make use of it to improve RSS and Atom templates in varying formats, as opposed to the two 'immobile' RSS and Atom templates now. Users will be able to father their own WML/WAP templates, OPML templates, and, lovingly, anything they want on each brook.

MoFo doesn't be experiencing much logic in it yet, but this is all being developed licit contemporarily. Eventually if it has anything to do with feeds and content redistribution in the vaguest, forage Digest purpose be the #1 API and developer platform to use. The straightforward stop choose be even easier, and the complex goods will minute be possible.

More statement to come as this stuff begins to envelop out..
