Issue

I'd like to generate an XML file as part of the build of the website - in this case a podcast-compatible RSS feed - and, having read the documentation, do not understand how to go about this.

I understand how to write a Jinja2 template which will generate the correct XML. What I don't understand is how to make Pelican use that template to generate the file I need. Can I do that as part of a theme, or do I need to write an entire plugin?

Perhaps you can just use Template Pages to render the xml template as page in pelican.

Agree that a template page is the right tool for this.
