Looking for a way to import a RSS feed into Writer

Post by ponsfrilus »

Dear all,
I want to print out my blog and I was wondering if there were a way to import a RSS feed into Writer (in order to be able to define some style and to properly render my blog)...

Thanks if you have any ideas!

What do you mean?

RSS is a web browser feature, even if Writer could import HTML code, how would it make you able to define your blog rendering?
Can you explain more clearly what you expect Writer to do?

The simplest way is to just view the RSS feed in your browser, then copy/paste into Writer. Default paste tries to retain the formatting from the browser & markup; Edit > Paste Special will paste unformatted text--more appropriate if you want to re-format.

PS: As Hagar said already, Writer is not really a blogging tool. If you format content in Writer, the formatting may not carry over once you get the content into your blog.
