XSL for presentation of Atom feeds

[nhoizey]

I tried to use pretty-feed-v3.xsl for my Atom feeds, but it didn't work at all because Atom and RSS have different XML structures.

I tried to build an alternative version for Atom feeds, but I don't know if my specific Atom feeds match the common use case.

I also don't know if it would be possible to share a single XSL stylesheet for both RSS and Atom.

Here's my version:
https://github.com/nhoizey/nicolas-hoizey.com/blob/main/src/assets/pretty-atom-feed-v3.xsl

Here's how it looks:
https://nicolas-hoizey.com/feeds/all.xml

A few notes:

• I removed the target="_blank" attributes for accessibility
• I moved the code for each item in a specific <xsl:template> to ease maintenance

I can make a PR if you want to iterate over it.

I just made a much lighter version without all CSS rules that were not used and using simple CSS instead of a bunch of utility classes:

Would you find it useful here?

Works nicely for my Jekyll generated atom feed at https://jay.gooby.org/feed.xml

I was about to write my own when I found this issue. It works flawlessly for my Atom feed, thank you @nhoizey! Would it be possible to merge your Atom XSL with this repository? Maybe we could have a pretty-feed-v3-rss.xsl and pretty-feed-v3-atom.xsl version here? This prevent newbies like myself to try to apply the RSS version to an Atom feed?

Just stumbled upon this issue randomly: I recently made an XSL that works for both RSS and Atom: https://gist.github.com/Dan-Q/149579c66c938b566c45beefcf5914a4

The trick is to have a <xsl:for-each select="/rss/channel/item"> and a <xsl:for-each select="/atom:feed/atom:entry"> - the former iterates through the posts if it's an RSS feed, the latter if it's an Atom feed.

It's probably reasonably feasible to do similar things with the title etc.
