 A few pointers and I might be able to implement this myself. -- JamesWestby
 
-       I don't see any problem with the title, it's the same as the title
-       of the wiki page that the rss feed comes from, which can be set
-       using the meta plugin. There are no restrictions to one word or
-       anything like that. Just made ikiwiki emit the following in a test
-       feed:
-
-               <title>billy bob&#39;s news</title>
-
-       Now, the description field currently defaults to the wiki name,
-       and that could indeed stand to be made configurable. Since the
-       current (svn) version of ikiwiki supports long, word-wrapped
-       blocks of text as parameters to [[PreProcessorDirective]]s, seems
-       to me the best way would be to simple modify inline.pm to make the
-       descripion configurable by such parameter, with a fallback to the
-       wiki name. You'll need to modify rsspage.tmpl to use whatever new
-       template variable you define, that should be all.

+Apologies for the title thing. I tried it yesterday, and it onlt used the first word.
+I must have done something wrong. I'll have a look at implementing the description.
+Thanks. -- JamesWestby
