The RSS feed now has the full text

Posted on 18 March 2025 in Blogkeeping, Website design

The other day I asked whether the RSS feed for this blog should have the full text of a post. The majority view was that I should, so I've updated the feed just now. Please do let me know if you see any problems!

Bonus section: this part would not be on the RSS feed with the older setup :-)

BTW I've heard from some people that the MathML stuff doesn't render at all in their feed readers -- Reeder, specifically, though I'm sure there are others. Here's a bit so that you can see:

x = \frac{- b \pm \sqrt{b^{2} - 4 a c}}{2 a}

My guess is that that isn't a big deal, as you can always click through, but let me know if I'm wrong on that.
