HI.

Still doesn't work on my Palm.

I tried with "Business News" and "Top news" feeds.

I can not understand how can it work for you.

When I see links in the feeds page on Reuters site, all of them produce links to articles in the forms of
http://www.reuters.com/article/"Feed name"/id"id number"?feedType=RSS

The print form link is http://www.reuters.com/articlePrint?articleId="id number"

There are no more links like "today.reuters.com" in RSS feeds page.

This is the reason for in my previous post.

I'll continue investigating.

What is the URL of the RSS feed you're on? I'm using http://www.microsite.reuters.com/rss...s/default.aspx. (This one is Top News obviously)

The individual links to the articles are indeed "today.reuters.com".

I'm using this link http://www.reuters.com/tools/rss which is referring to different RSS feeds. This link came from the bottom of the home page.

With your link, there is only the "Top news" feed.

Now I understood what you spoke about

No, they're all there. (At least the 5 I tested were. I didn't check the whole list) The "default.aspx" in the Top News link I posted is actually unnecessary.

In the RSS link you posted, follow the articles link (which loads a Podcast page?) to find out what the actual heading of the RSS feed is in the URL. For example, the page you linked to shows an "International" heading, yet if you follow the link, the URL actually calls it "worldNews" Similarly, "US News" is actually "domesticNews". If you put "domesticNews" in the microsite URL, it grabs the same articles, but in a different URL format. (today.reuters.com)

So a URL of http://www.microsite.reuters.com/rss/domesticNews/ will grab the "US News" feed listed on the page you linked to.

I can't find the link on the Reuters page that reference the microsite URL's, but I originally got it from the Reuters page.

So anyway, you can currently still get your articles on the microsite URL using your old link rewrite format. Hopefully they continue to update microsite.

The Wall Street Journal creates a link to the printer friendly version by converting the original page:

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122973669825423389.html

to

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB1229...html#printMode

I'm using Sunrise Desktop 0.42j in Ubuntu, and it seems to treat the '#' as a comment character both in the Source URL and in the embedded edit script... Sunrise XP has the same behavior but the debugging isn't quite as easy.

Any ideas on how I might "escape" this character?
