Feed.hs

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- | A Module that allows easy rendering of RSS feeds.
--
-- The main rendering functions (@renderRss@, @renderAtom@) all assume that
-- you pass the list of items so that the most recent entry in the feed is the
-- first item in the list.
--
-- Also note that the context should have (at least) the following fields to
-- produce a correct feed:
--
-- - @$title$@: Title of the item
--
-- - @$description$@: Description to appear in the feed
--
-- - @$url$@: URL to the item - this is usually set automatically.
--
-- In addition, the posts should be named according to the rules for
-- 'Hakyll.Web.Template.Context.dateField'
