| Google news feeds Well congratulations guys, what kept you? Gnews2RSS dates back to 2002 (I think). But look at the output. Here's a typical description field. <br><table border=0 width= valign=top cellpadding=2 cellspacing=7><tr><td valign=top><a href="http://www.charlotte.com/mld/observer/news/local/states/north_carolina/counties/gaston/12267732.htm">True location of <b>lemurs</b>' love still a mystery</a><br><font size=-1><font color=#6f6f6f>Charlotte Observer, NC -</font> <nobr>Jul 31, 2005</nobr></font><br><font size=-1><b>...</b> Catawba Science Center exhibited the two adult <b>lemurs</b> -- primates of Madagascar and the Comoro Islands, with fox-like faces -- Feb. 5 to May 15. <b>...</b> </font><br></table> - What's that line break doing at the start? - Tables? Ugh! I strip those on all incoming RSS so they're gone. - Tables with no closing TD or TR? Double Ugh! - Repeating the title in the first line of the description. Why? - More line breaks. Why? So that's a solid 4 out of 10 and I'll stick to my scraper thank you. |
