disableKinds and RSSLink not playing together

Uncategorized

I’ll definitely try to fix the docs where I can, there’s a lot of confusing stuff out there :stuck_out_tongue:

I’m not sure what you meant with this. Hugo is outputting <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss" href="[url]"> but the correct type seems to be "application/rss+xml" (even though the applications handle lots of non standard types for rss). Please let me know if I am missing something here.

Summing up for other readers (specifically @Jura):

  1. RSS “kind” will be removed (so disableKinds = ["RSS"] alone to disable RSS won’t work anymore).

  2. The correct way of disabling RSS is by overriding the default RSS pages output.

  3. .RSSLink will be deprecated and removed.

  4. The correct way of declaring the rss links (and other alternate outputs) is:

     {{ range .AlternativeOutputFormats }}
 <link rel="{{ .Rel }}" type="{{ .MediaType.Type }}" href="{{ .Permalink | safeURL }}">
 {{ end }}

Thanks everyone for your input.
