Hello,
Thanks for your interest and taking time to reach me here.
When I run the link via a RSS Validator and I get an error for the author name:
As mentioned in the documentation: to comply with the standard, the page writer is responsible to fill this field following this syntax: john@doe.com (John Doe) (read this SO).
and also description error like this:
As mentioned in the documentation, the site_description in mkdocs.yml is required for the RSS channel.
As mentioned in the documentation: to comply with the standard, the page writer is responsible to fill this field following this syntax: john@doe.com (John Doe) (read this SO).
So do I add a email: john@doe.com to the .authors.yml file? To fix the issue of the email part? Or how can I add it? I am little confused in terms of how to make it work with MkDocs Material
I have added the name of authors as you mentioned in the following format: john@doe.com (John Doe) and the rss validator is coming back clean, however it still doesnt seem to work properly with IFTTT as the RSS Feed url says is invalid on there
Sorry, I missed this answer.
and the rss validator is coming back clean
Good news!
however it still doesnt seem to work properly with IFTTT as the RSS Feed url says is invalid on there
Well, may the IFTTT RSS parser is not compliant? I think it's an upstream issue.
No feedback for 1+ year. I close here.
