###Summary

An extension to Python-Markdown that outputs a markdown document as RSS. This extension has been included with Python-Markdown since 1.7 and should be available to anyone who has a typical install of Python-Markdown.

###Usage

From the Python interpreter:

>>> import markdown
    >>> text = "Some markdown document."
    >>> rss = markdown.markdown(text, ['rss'])

To use with other extensions, just add them to the list, like this:

>>> rss = markdown.markdown(text, ['rss', 'footnotes'])

The RSS extension can also be called from the command line using Markdown's `-x` parameter, like so:

python markdown.py -x rss source.txt > output.rss

###Configuring the Output

An RSS document includes some data about the document (URI, author, title) that will likely need to be configured for your needs. Therefore, three configuration options are available:

* **URL** : The Main URL for the document.
* **CREATOR** : The Feed creator's name.
* **TITLE** : The title for the feed.

An example:

>>> rss = markdown.markdown(text, extensions = \
    ...        ['rss(URL=http://example.com,CREATOR=JOHN DOE,TITLE=My Document)']
    ... )
