Hello all,
I'd like to typeset an RSS feed and I was wondering whether I could instruct ConTeXt to fetch the contents of a url like: http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml Thanks for any pointers,
the fetching part is easy as we have LuaSocket: ········································································ \starttext \startluacode local bbc_rss = socket.http.request"http://feeds.bbci.co.uk/news/rss.xml" context["type"](bbc_rss) \stopluacode \stoptext \endinput ········································································ In your document, however, you will want to save the file locally for a given Context session and reuse the local copy to avoid re-fetching it on every pass. Maybe use the timestamp to force a fresh fetch after some time. Regards Philipp
