Web + MMF: Best way to isolate RSS body text.

[ratty]

Since the RSS example is outdated, I took it upon myself to make a working RSS reader. Retrieving title, time, description and link were easy enough to parse out (regardless of inconsistency in website tagging).

The issue I'm still having is then pulling the body text from the RSS link. The link obviously just goes to the whole page where the story resides. What's best practice for isolating the body text of the webpage? Is there a common practice approach? I have RSS readers on my phone that seem to do it fine, so there must be some sort of logical method. I just don't know much about web stuff, so that's why in asking the community.

I've found a few PHP scripts that can run this. While running them through my own domain is possible with GET requests and whatnot, I'm hoping for the muscle to take place locally.

Any ideas? Is running a local PHP script in MMF possible?

Perhaps there's a way to get WebX to isolate webpage components, similar to how Chrome will isolate and highlight page components in "inspect element" mode. Hmm...

Hi ratty and all clickers! Yes this is really possible, but why? You need write code for MMF2 cleaning your text array from your web sites at html tags! After this, you can navigate and show this text! You can trace simple tags for navigate such as title and description!

I think the trouble is the variable design of websites. Some of these sites are kind I out there!
