---++ ATOM Feed Usage

   * The URL for an RSS feed is =%SCRIPTURL{view}%/&lt;web&gt;/WebAtom=
   * For this <nop>%WEB% web it is %SCRIPTURL{view}%/%WEB%/WebAtom
   * You can also create a custom feed based on a search. Add a =search=value= parameter to the URL, e.g. %SCRIPTURL{"view"}%/%WEB%/WebAtom?search=plugin is a what's new feed about Plugins.

---++ ATOM Feed Internals

Each web has a WebAtom topic which includes part of this <nop>%TOPIC% topic. This topic is the base for the ATOM feed and generates an WebAtom 1.0 feed for TWiki:Codev/AtomSyndication.

The WebAtom topic in each web contains the following text:

-----
<pre>
&lt;title>&lt;nop>%<nop>WIKITOOLNAME%'s &lt;nop>%<nop>INCLUDINGWEB% web&lt;/title>
&lt;subtitle>(the description of the web, plain text with no markup and no wikiwords). TWiki is an Enterprise Collaboration Platform.&lt;/subtitle>
%<nop>INCLUDE{"%<nop>TWIKIWEB%.WebAtomBase"}% &lt;!--
   * Set <nop>SKIN = rss
--&gt;
</pre>
