[Radiant] How exactly is this RSS feed thing supposed to work?

[NT]

I have modified the default RSS Feed page to snag content from the from
the children of the "Tanji's Tanjents" page (it's a blog), and the feed
name is pulled from the feed properly, but I never get any content from
the feed. I have no idea what is going wrong. The XML layout is the same
as always, and this is what I have on the RSS Feed page:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">
<channel>
<title>Tanji's Tanjents</title>
<link>http://goodtastewithtanji.com<r:url /></link>
<language>en-us</language>
<ttl>40</ttl>
<description>Wine, food and fun with Tanji Patton.</description>
<r:find url="^/tanjis-tanjents">
<r:children:each limit="10" order="desc">
<item>
<title><r:title /></title>
<description><r:escape_html><r:content
/></r:escape_html></description>
<pubDate><r:rfc1123_date /></pubDate>
<guid>http://goodtastewithtanji.com<r:url /></guid>
<link>http://goodtastewithtanji.com<r:url /></link>
</item>
</r:children:each>
</r:find>
</channel>
</rss>

Does anything jump out as being incorrect to anybody? I have gone
cross-eyed staring down this content on the screen.

<r:find> takes an actual URL path, not a regex. Remove the "^" from the
front of the url attribute.

I've tried '^/tanjis-tanjents', '/tanjis-tanjents/' and
'/tanjis-tanjents'. Feed readers see that there is a feed, but no
articles show up. I just don't understand why this isn't working. My
page content is almost exactly the same as the example on the default
setup, but the articles are not there.

Where can we find this feed? It might help to look at the actual pages.

You have a parsing error:
http://validator.w3.org/feed/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgoodtastewithtanji.com%2Frss%2F
This feed does not validate.
*line 25, column 37: XML parsing error: <unknown>:25:37: not well-
formed (invalid token)

Viewing the source of the feed shows that everything is there, so it's
possible that this error is doing it.

This is what I get when I download your RSS using curl:

http://pastie.org/539977

You might also want to look at this:

http://feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgoodtastewithtanji.com%2Frss%2F

From what I can tell, your feed looks fine except for the unescaped
ampersands.

Thanks, Jim. I had never thought about the validators on the w3c site.
It was that ampersand. I wrapped the title with <r:escape_html> tags and
it worked!

I never thought about using curl. I'll have to remember that one.

It turns out that that is exactly what it was. Thanks again.
