GeoRSS/RSS Feed Writer Parameters

Writer Parameters

ClosedOutput Character Set

The character set encoding in which the output XML feed will be written. Possible values for this field are UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-16BE, UTF16-LE, UTF-32, UTF-32BE and UTF-32LE. If no character set is specified, the feed will be written in the UTF-8 character set. If an invalid character set is specified, the translation will fail.

ClosedOutput Format

Specifies the format of the XML feed that the GeoRSS writer will produce. If the value is Atom, the writer will produce an Atom 1.0 feed. If the value is RSS, the writer will produce an RSS 2.0 feed.

ClosedGeometry Format

Specifies the format of the output feed’s geometry extensions.

ClosedEscape Html Content

Determines how the writer handles HTML content. If you choose Yes, the writer will escape HTML content before outputting it. If you choose No (which is the default), the writer will output the content unchanged. This only applies to feature attributes whose corresponding ‘type’ attribute is set to ‘html’.

Note: If you choose No and unescaped HTML content is passed to the writer, the output may not be a valid XML.

Pretty Printing

ClosedPretty Print

Setting this parameter to Yes ensures the output is neatly formatted. This promotes easier reading on screen and in print output. Note, however, that it also produces a considerably larger output file size due to the added whitespace.

  • Indent Size: Select a value from 0 to 9.
  • Replace Tabs with Spaces: By default the Tab character is used to for indentations. Select Yes to substitute the Tab character with a Space.
