⚠ Security

  • This plugin contacts the servers that host the RSS feeds you have specified.
  • RSS feeds can contain arbitrary data, this data will get sanitized before being displayed.
  • Many Obsidian plugins use codeblocks to add some functionality. This plugin sanitizes these codeblocks at read/note creation time. This is to block rss feeds from executing arbitrary plugin code.
  • Some plugins allow for different kinds of inline syntax's, these are treated individually (Currently only Dataview and Templater).

Styling

If you want to style the plugin differently you can use the following css classes

  • rss-read
  • rss-not-read
  • rss-filters
  • rss-folders
  • rss-folder
  • rss-feed
  • rss-feed-title
  • rss-feed-items
  • rss-feed-item
  • rss-tag
