💻️ about content.html

i decided to use a .html since it still allowed me to see if the syntax was correct. please still format it to xhtml standarts, or else the feed readers will freak out. keep in mind the syntax the readers accept, as well

⚙️ about atom.tpl

this is your atom template! configure to your heart's content. there's a single element you will need to customize, which is the <id> tag. i have it set up as this string:

tag:example.com,${IDDATE}:/blog-${ID}

which, with the data included on configs/auto.conf, would look like this:

tag:example.com,2000-01-01:/blog-test

my template is the following:

• always start with tag:
• after tag, goes the site's url
• after the first /, goes a , and today's date in yyyy-mm-dd format, followed by a :
• page name, in the example above /blog, goes after the date
• then - and the post id
