Editing RSS (section)

== Example ==
RSS is [[XML]]-formatted plain text. The RSS format itself is relatively easy to read both by automated processes and by humans alike. An example feed could have contents such as the following:

<syntaxhighlight lang="xml">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0">
<channel>

When retrieved, RSS reading software could use the XML structure to present a neat display to the end users. There are various news aggregator software for desktop and mobile devices, but RSS can also be built-in inside [[web browser]]s or [[email client]]s like [[Mozilla Thunderbird]].
