There already is such a standard! https://microformats.org/wiki/hatom

Happy to take a merge request that adds the option to set `extends = "sfeed"` or `extends = "hatom"` and then automatically sets the correct selectors though.

(That said, if a publisher goes through the trouble of adhering to those selectors, they might as well publish a feed while they're at it :)

https://microformats.org/wiki/h-feed is the up-to-date version

I like this name better — the h prefix is cool in that it shows things are coming all the way from basic HTML.

Microformats, I see this is the proper way.

Ah thanks - been out of that world for a long time now.

Ah thanks, didn't know about hAtom, will investigate that.

I do think it's (much) easier to add some HTML classes than output an entire separate file.

I've been using Nuxt + Strapi as my new CMS stack, and while it's a big step forward in so many other ways, outputting an RSS feed is far from automatic.
