ATOM Feed Internals

Each web has a WebAtom topic which includes part of this WebAtomBase 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:

---

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