How can I convert HTML to RSS?

[blacknight]

Can anyone recommend any tools for converting plain HTML into RSS?

Basically I have a newsletter in HTML which I would like to publish via RSS as well.

I'm willing to consider anything at this stage :)

You could scrape the content and pull it into a DB.

From there it should be pretty easy to print it in an RSS format.

Snoopy (http://snoopy.sourceforge.net/) is good.

Are there any examples included with that?

I'm not much of a coder (ie. I'm hopeless), so I'm looking for the "idiot proof" solution if it exists :)

I would recommend spending an hour reading the XHTML tutorial at www.w3schools.com so you can understand that xhtml is just better formatted html. Then you can see what you need to do to make your html newsletter more xhtml like. From there the conversion from xhtml (or at least very well formated html) to rss is very simple and natural.

Most people will recommend HTML Tidy ( http://tidy.sourceforge.net ), but that's not the most user friendly application. A search on Download.com returns this freeware applaication though:

You could give it a shot.

Hi blacknight,

You can check out this thread for HTML to RSS conversion (http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?t=54595) in the services forum.
If interested, you can send me a pm.:)

Use a free service to convert your HMTL page into an RSS feed. http://www.mysitefeed.com is a good new one: it has an automatic (scraper) mode, and a custom mode. There are a couple of others I've seen, too - but this one's auto mode worked well with my site. YMMV.
