# 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

# The options are for atom_feed are:
#
# * :language: Defaults to "en-US".
# * :root_url: The HTML alternative that this feed is doubling for. Defaults to / on the current host.
# * :url: The URL for this feed. Defaults to the current URL.
#
# atom_feed yields a AtomFeedBuilder instance.
