## 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-rssxml). 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 [sections][section] RSS will be rendered at `/<SECTION>/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:
<https://github.com/gohugoio/hugo/blob/master/tpl/tplimpl/embedded/templates/_default/rss.xml>
## Reference your RSS Feed in `<head>`
In your `header.html` template, you can specify your RSS feed in your `<head></head>` tag using Hugo's [Output Formats][Output Formats] like this:
```go-html-template
{{ range .AlternativeOutputFormats -}}
{{ printf `<link rel="%s" type="%s" href="%s" title="%s" />` .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 `<link rel="%s" type="%s" href="%s" title="%s" />` .Rel .MediaType.Type .Permalink $.Site.Title | safeHTML }}
{{ end -}}
```
Either of the two snippets above will generate the below `link` tag on the site homepage for RSS output:
```html
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" href="https://example.com/index.xml" title="Site Title">
```
_We are assuming `BaseURL` to be `https://example.com/` and `$.Site.Title` to be `"Site Title"` in this example._
