Extension:ToFeed

What can this extension do?
This extension add a new action that returns a page as a RSS feed.

The first list found in an article will be used to build the feed. Usually, this is the table of contents. By disabling toc generation or by providing a list before the generated toc, one may be able to export something else in the feed. Useful for pages that contains a list of articles.

The main advantage of ToFeed is that it does not require any change in the content (wikitext) of the article. Moreover, ToFeed is able to extract the description of the page as the text before the first list – without requiring any special tag. This is why I call it non intrusive feed generator.
