Re: News Aggregator Software



> I am looking for news aggregator software that will allow me to 
view the actual article from syndicated web pages, but stripped of 
HTML tags and layout.  All the software I have see so far simply 
pulls back the web page.  I only want the text of the article.  Does 
anyone know of any such software?

I'm guessing that you want the actual article itself stripped, not 
the RSS feed.

You could whip something together using Awasu (www.awasu.net) but you 
need to do a bit of programming. It is possible to write a plugin 
script - you would probably do this one in Python - that acts as a 
proxy between the RSS client and the RSS feed publisher. When the 
user tries to open a story, the request will go to the plugin who can 
retrieve the story, strip it and then return it to the user.
