eNews from RSS feed
Insert the link (random pick
http://www.djeaux.com/rss/insecure-full-bugtraq.rss), name it, and define how many articles you want to load from it (
snapshot02).
Next we specify what parts of an article page are to be extracted. We do this by simply clicking on various blocks of text and image which correspond to the content of the article (
snapshot03, purple area).
Finally we extract the feed and preview it in the Mobipocket Emulator (
snapshot04). Technical note: the extracted eNews files are always stored in a subdirectory of eNews Creator:

Interesting here are three files: djeaux.enews, djeaux.html and djeaux.prc. The first is a xml file which essentially contains all channel settings. The second is the converted web page. The last is the converted PRC file that is installed on your PDA.
Sidenote: Not sure if this is a bug, but both the .enews and the .html files start with a 0xEF, 0xBB, 0xBF hex sequence, which essentially invalidates the ixl and html formats

When you post a new eNews channel to our forum in future (
http://www.turcic.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=37), make sure to
upload the .enews file. For those who are used to iSilo/X: the MobiPocket .enews is analogous to iSiloX's .ixl.
