Question

• if Blog Rss Feed can use " $summary " to display part of contents in rss reader?
• if only one word allowed in $expand() ? so $expand(Progress) is right but $expand(Action Plan) is wrong?

e.g. when i subscribe WebRssTeaser, i will see the teaser contents from my rss reader. But is there a way to use variable $summary to limit characters.
I ask this because i create a new TopicType and form for myself in blog, so i want to read a summary content from my form. I revised the RenderRss.txt file, and add two line " ~~~    $expand(Progress) " " ~~~    $expand(Action Plan) " above the line " ~~~    $expand(Teaser) ". (" Progress " and " Action Plan " is fieldname in my form). I also write a new rss feed only for this TopicType. From rss reader i can get full content in Progress, but can not get content from "Action Plan"(Is this because there is a space between "Action" and "Plan" )

I also ask this problem in BlogPluginDev#Blog_Rss_Feed

Hi, Michael, thanks for you reply on Dev. But i have to consult you again. A problem in using

~~~     $trunc($expand(ActionPlan and '<p/>' and Progress),235)<p/>
