Like all other templates, you can use a single RSS template to generate
all of your RSS feeds, or you can create a specific template for each
individual feed. Unlike other templates, *Hugo ships with its own
[RSS 2.0 template](#the-embedded-rss-xml:eceb479b7b3b2077408a2878a29e1320).
In most cases this will be sufficient, and an RSS
template will not need to be provided by the user.*

## Which Template will be rendered?
Hugo uses a set of rules to figure out which template to use when
rendering a specific page.
Hugo uses a set of rules to figure out which template to use when rendering a specific page.
Hugo will use the following prioritized list. If a file isn’t present,
then the next one in the list will be used. This enables you to craft
specific layouts when you want to without creating more templates
than necessary. For most sites only the \_default file at the end of
the list will be needed.

## Referencing your RSS Feed in `<head>`
In your `header.html` template, you can specify your RSS feed in your `<head></head>` tag like this:
~~~html
{{ if .RSSlink }}
<link href="{{ .RSSlink }}" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="{{ .Site.Title }}" />
<link href="{{ .RSSlink }}" rel="feed" type="application/rss+xml" title="{{ .Site.Title }}" />
{{ end }}
~~~
... with the autodiscovery link specified by the line with `rel="alternate"`.
The `.RSSlink` will render the appropriate RSS feed URL for the section, whether it's everything, posts in a section, or a taxonomy.
**N.b.**, if you reference your RSS link, be sure to specify the mime type with `type="application/rss+xml"`.
~~~html
<a href="{{ .URL }}" type="application/rss+xml" target="_blank">{{ .SomeText }}</a>
