Turn XML into RSS feed
Hi Gurus,
Here is an example of my xml feed that is created but I want o change it into as RSS feed so people can grab it from my blog.
How do I turn this feed format into an RSS Feed:
<?xml version='1.0' standalone='yes' ?>

<summary>Conquest Mining takeover offer for North Queensland Metals – acceptance received from major shareholder
Conquest Mining Limited (ASX:CQT) ("Conquest") refers to its announcement earlier today that it will increase the consideration under its takeover offer ("Offer") for North Queensland Metals Limited (ASX:NQM) ("NQM") to 0.5 Conquest shares and 15 cents cash for every NQM share, and that NQM's founder, director and major shareholder, Mr Don Walker, had agreed to accept the Offer in respect of a 19.9% shareholding in NQM.
Conquest advises that Mr Don Walker has now accepted the Offer in respect of his entire shareholding in NQM, representing a 20.9% interest in NQM. This means that the 90% minimum acceptance condition in the recently announced all scrip offer from Heemskirk Consolidated Limited ("Heemskirk") cannot be satisfied, except in certain limited circumstances1.

Great - thanks

I see two issues that your programming will need to address. First, you must decide which of your existing data fields map appropriately to the RSS subset. Next, you must write well-formed XML, and that means using the right quote marks, setting the right character entities for things like apostrophes and ampersands. Most RSS readers will bark if the XML is not 100% well-formed, and while it is a bit of a programming task to translate the special characters, it is a necessity for success.
Not sure what programming languages you would choose for something like this - I would probably do it in PHP since that is my best language. It is a half-day programming task once the data map has been wireframed.
