/index.xml` (e.g., [https://spf13.com/project/index.xml](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`). {{< datatable-filtered "output" "layouts" "OutputFormat == RSS" "Example" "OutputFormat" "Suffix" "Template Lookup Order" >}} ## Configure RSS 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: {{< code-toggle file="config" >}} languageCode = "en-us" copyright = "This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License." [author] name = "My Name Here" {{< /code-toggle >}} ## The Embedded rss.xml This is the default RSS template that ships with Hugo: ## Reference your RSS Feed in `` In your `header.html` template, you can specify your RSS feed in your `` tag using Hugo's [Output Formats][Output Formats] like this: ```go-html-template {{ range .AlternativeOutputFormats -}} {{ printf `` .Rel .MediaType.Type .Permalink $.Site.Title | safeHTML }} {{ end -}} ``` If you only want the RSS link, you can query the formats: ```go-html-template {{ with .OutputFormats.Get "rss" -}} {{ printf `` .Rel .MediaType.Type .Permalink $.Site.Title | safeHTML }} {{ end -}} ``` Either of the two snippets above will generate the below `link` tag on the site homepage for RSS output: ```html ``` _We are assuming `BaseURL` to be `https://example.com/` and `$.Site.Title` to be `"Site Title"` in this example._ [config]: /getting-started/configuration/ [embedded]: #the-embedded-rss-xml [RSS 2.0]: https://cyber.harvard.edu/rss/rss.html "RSS 2.0 Specification" [section]: /content-management/sections/ [Output Formats]: /templates/output-formats/#link-to-output-formats
