GenerateFeeds Wyam.Feeds

Generates syndication feeds including RSS, Atom, and RDF.
Each input document represents an item in the feed, up to the specified maximum number of documents. Note that documents will be used in the order in which they are input into this module, so a OrderBy module or similar should be used to order the documents prior to this module. You should also set the 
Settings.Host
value in your configuration file since that's used to create the absolute links for feed readers. This module outputs a document for each of the selected feed types. Input documents are not output by this module.

Package

This module exists in the Wyam.Feeds package which is not part of the core distribution. Add the following preprocessor directive to your configuration file to use it:
#n Wyam.Feeds
