render description/summary in addition to content

Open ilf opened this issue 8 years ago • 2 comments

With feeds that have both <description> and <content> (RSS2) or <summary> and <content> (Atom) for each <item>/<entry>, only the <content> is rendered, not the <description> or <summary>. As they are mostly abstracts from stories, they are really valuable for readers and should be rendered too, IMHO.

I double that. One good example is Commitstrip RSS (a well-known comic strip on IT). SpaRSS cannot display the actual comic strip because of this exact issue.

I'd like to see that feature, too. Maybe an additional option for each feed would be suitable to let the user select whether to show <description> in front of <content>. My usecase is Zeit Online news feed at https://newsfeed.zeit.de/index: Everytime my feed loads new headlines I can see description including a teaser image which I would like to show when displaying full content also.

kind regards Christian
