RSS Wizard Example #2

This is an example of generating a feed from a page using existing HTML tags on the page to identify feed items.

 

<!-- start feed -->
<table width="968" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" bgcolor="white" id="table2">

<tr>
<td width="10" background="c_left.jpg" align="left">&nbsp;</td>
<td align="left" valign="top" width="85">&nbsp;<p>&nbsp;</p>
<br>
<br></td>
<td align="left" valign="top" width="613">&nbsp;<h1>RSS Wizard Online Tutorials</h1>
<table border="0" width="100%" id="table5" height="112">
<tr>
<td height="55">
<h2 style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left:20px">
<!-- start item -->
<a href="rss-wizard-example-01.htm">
<font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 9pt; font-weight:400">Example #1</font></a></h2>
<p style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left:20px">
<font face="Verdana" color="#383A3B" style="font-size: 9pt"><!-- start description -->This is an
example of generating a feed from your own page by inserting HTML
comments to identify feed items.<!-- end description --></font></p>
<!-- end item -->
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td height="55">
<h2 style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left:20px">
<!-- start item -->
<a href="rss-wizard-example-02.htm">
<font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 9pt; font-weight:400">Example #2</font></a></h2>
<p style="margin-left: 20px; margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0">
<font face="Verdana" color="#383A3B" style="font-size: 9pt"><!-- start description -->This is an
example of generating a feed from a page using existing HTML tags on the
page to identify feed items.<!-- end description --></font></p>
<!-- end item -->
</td>
</tr>
</table>

<br>
<br><p style="margin-left: 20px"><font face="Verdana" style="font-size: 9pt"><a href="downloads.htm"><font color="#333333"><img src="b_down.jpg" width="102" height="32" alt="Download NOW!" align="left" border="0"></font></a><font color="#333333"><img src="b_order.jpg" width="102" height="32" alt="Order NOW!" align="left"></font></font></p>
<br><br><br><br><br><br><br>
</td>
<td align="left" valign="top">&nbsp;</td>
<td width="10" background="c_right.jpg"></td>
</tr>

</table>
 

In this example the H1 heading "RSS Wizard Online Tutorials" is used to mark the start of the feed items.  RSS Wizard will then look for the first instance of the Start and End Item Strings after that.  The <h2> and </font> tags are used to identify the start and end of each item.  The "Start Description String" and "End Description String" have been left blank, because RSS Wizard will automatically split each item into a Title and Description based on the page layout.

 In the RSS Wizard, type in the following parameters:

HTML File (Step 1 of 5):

/rss-wizard-examples.htm

Start String (Step 2 of 5):

<h1>RSS Wizard Online Tutorials</h1>

Start Item String (Step 2 of 5):

<h2 style="margin-top: 0; margin-bottom: 0; margin-left:20px">

End Item String (Step 2 of 5):

</p>

Start Description String (Step 2 of 5):

 

End Description String (Step 2 of 5):

 

Note that in this example the "Start String" cannot left blank, because the introduction on the page would also match the "Start Item String" and "End Item String" and create an additional feed item.
