## RSS Template Lookup Order
See [Template Lookup Order](/templates/lookup-order/) for the complete reference.
{{% note "Hugo Ships with an RSS Template" %}}
Hugo ships with its own [RSS 2.0 template](#the-embedded-rss-xml). The embedded template will be sufficient for most use cases.
{{% /note %}}
RSS pages are of the type `Page` and have all the [page variables](/variables/page/) available to use in the templates.
### Section RSS
A [section’s][section] RSS will be rendered at `/<SECTION>/index.xml` (e.g., https://spf13.com/project/index.xml).
Hugo provides the ability for you to define any RSS type you wish and can have different RSS files for each section and taxonomy.
## Lookup Order for RSS Templates
The table below shows the RSS template lookup order for the different page kinds. The first listing shows the lookup order when running with a theme (`demoTheme`).
By default, Hugo will create an unlimited number of RSS entries. You can limit the number of articles included in the built-in RSS templates by assigning a numeric value to `rssLimit:` field in your project's [`config` file][config].
The following values will also be included in the RSS output if specified in your site’s configuration:
```toml
languageCode = "en-us"
