So my theme has an RSS section that just spits out .RSSlink in the href property. However, this obviously doesn’t work for posts since they don’t haven an rss file.

I’d really like to just always use the toplevel “root” RSSlink no matter what page is being generated, but I can’t figure out how to access it . I thought $.RSSlink would do it, but no dice. I ended up just hardcoding it to {{.Site.BaseURL}}index.xml but that seems a bit sketchy. Is there a better way?

The way you’ve solved it is probably the only way to do it. The root/homepage Node has an `RSSLink`, but I don’t know how you would get at that from any normal Page.

What we really need is the main `RSSLink` to be a part of the SiteInfo.
