I currently want to include a fulltext-RSS-feed to my page, and I am currently at an issue where I’m unsure what’s the most elegant solution.

### The Problem

I have taken the hugo RSS-template, added a field `<content type="html">{{ .Content | html }}</content>` to it. However, this field now contains relative URLs to all images and other files linked, that are placed it the appropriate folder next to the markdown, and at least my Feed-Reader is not able to resolve this, so the posts show up without the figures included.

### What I tried so far

- `{{ .Content | absURL | html }}`, doesn’t change anything
- {{ .Content | html | absURL }}`, doesn't render at all as `html` seems to have to be the last part of the chain
- both of the above with `safeHTML` instead of HTML
- `canonifyURLs = true`, `relativeURLs = true` and both at the same time

### What I currently still try to avoid

- always writing my own shortcode: `![my image]({{< absolutify "myimage.png" >}})`, as it would most likely work, but would be comparatively inconvenient compared to the builtin ` ![my image]() to always write a shortcode for it.

So I was wondering whether there possibly is an elegant option to tell Hugo to just absolutify all URLs, be it images or links to other material, that I haven’t found yet? Preferrably one that doesn’t require modifications of existing markdown, so that I can just continue writing in normal markdown.

Any ideas are greatly appreciated! 🙂

Don’t care about it, set xml:base in the \<rss … \> element.
