## RSS Template Lookup Order
See [Template Lookup](/templates/lookup-order/).
{{% 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 [sections][section] RSS will be rendered at `/<SECTION>/index.xml` (e.g., http://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
### Main RSS
1. `/layouts/rss.xml`
2. `/layouts/_default/rss.xml`
3. Embedded rss.xml
### Section RSS
1. `/layouts/section/<SECTION>.rss.xml`
2. `/layouts/_default/rss.xml`
3. `/themes/<THEME>/layouts/section/<SECTION>.rss.xml`
4. `/themes/<THEME>/layouts/_default/rss.xml`
5. Embedded rss.xml
### Taxonomy RSS
1. `/layouts/taxonomy/<SINGULAR>.rss.xml`
2. `/layouts/_default/rss.xml`
3. `/themes/<THEME>/layouts/taxonomy/<SINGULAR>.rss.xml`
4. `/themes/<THEME>/layouts/_default/rss.xml`
5. Embedded rss.xml
## 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 in your sites configuration:
```
languageCode = "en-us"
copyright = "This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International License."
[author]
name = "My Name Here"
```
## The Embedded rss.xml
This is the default RSS template that ships with Hugo. It adheres to the [RSS 2.0 Specification][RSS 2.0].
```
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<channel>
<title>{{ if eq .Title .Site.Title }}{{ .Site.Title }}{{ else }}{{ with .Title }}{{.}} on {{ end }}{{ .Site.Title }}{{ end }}</title>
<link>{{ .Permalink }}</link>
<description>Recent content {{ if ne .Title .Site.Title }}{{ with .Title }}in {{.}} {{ end }}{{ end }}on {{ .Site.Title }}</description>

{{ printf "<atom:link href=%q rel=\"self\" type=%q />" .Permalink .MediaType | safeHTML }}
{{ end }}
{{ range .Data.Pages }}
<item>
<title>{{ .Title }}</title>
<link>{{ .Permalink }}</link>
<pubDate>{{ .Date.Format "Mon, 02 Jan 2006 15:04:05 -0700" | safeHTML }}</pubDate>
{{ with .Site.Author.email }}<author>{{.}}{{ with $.Site.Author.name }} ({{.}}){{end}}</author>{{end}}
<guid>{{ .Permalink }}</guid>
<description>{{ .Summary | html }}</description>
</item>
{{ end }}
</channel>
</rss>
```
{{% warning "XML Header" %}}
Hugo will automatically add the following header line to this file on render. Please do *not* include this in the template as it's not valid HTML.
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="yes" ?>
```
{{% /warning %}}
## Reference your RSS Feed in `<head>`
In your `header.html` template, you can specify your RSS feed in your `<head></head>` tag like this:
```
{{ 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 auto-discovery 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.
If you reference your RSS link, be sure to specify the MIME type with `type="application/rss+xml"`.
```
<a href="{{ .URL }}" type="application/rss+xml" target="_blank">{{ .SomeText }}</a>
```
