module AtomFeedHelper
# Full usage example:
#
# config/routes.rb:
# ActionController::Routing::Routes.draw do |map|
# map.resources :posts
# map.root :controller => "posts"
# end
#
# app/controllers/posts_controller.rb:
# class PostsController < ApplicationController::Base
# # GET /posts.html
# # GET /posts.atom
# def index
# @posts = Post.find(:all)
#
# respond_to do |format|
# format.html
# format.atom
# end
# end
# end
#
# app/views/posts/index.atom.builder:
# atom_feed do |feed|
# feed.title("My great blog!")
# feed.updated((@posts.first.created_at))
#
# for post in @posts
# feed.entry(post) do |entry|
# entry.title(post.title)
# entry.content(post.body, :type => 'html')
#
# entry.author do |author|
# author.name("DHH")
# end
# end
# end
# end
#
# The options for atom_feed are:
#
# * <tt>:language</tt>: Defaults to "en-US".
# * <tt>:root_url</tt>: The HTML alternative that this feed is doubling for. Defaults to / on the current host.
# * <tt>:url</tt>: The URL for this feed. Defaults to the current URL.
# * <tt>:id</tt>: The id for this feed. Defaults to "tag:#{request.host},#{options[:schema_date]}:#{request.request_uri.split(".")[0]}"
# * <tt>:schema_date</tt>: The date at which the tag scheme for the feed was first used. A good default is the year you
# created the feed. See http://feedvalidator.org/docs/error/InvalidTAG.html for more information. If not specified,
# 2005 is used (as an "I don't care" value).
#
# Other namespaces can be added to the root element:
#
# app/views/posts/index.atom.builder:
# atom_feed({'xmlns:app' => 'http://www.w3.org/2007/app',
# 'xmlns:openSearch' => 'http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/'}) do |feed|
# feed.title("My great blog!")
# feed.updated((@posts.first.created_at))
# feed.tag!(openSearch:totalResults, 10)
#
# for post in @posts
# feed.entry(post) do |entry|
# entry.title(post.title)
# entry.content(post.body, :type => 'html')
# entry.tag!('app:edited', Time.now)
#
# entry.author do |author|
# author.name("DHH")
# end
# end
# end
# end

# atom_feed yields an AtomFeedBuilder instance.
