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.
