                to generate feeds outside of a Web context, or in some other lower-level way.
 The high-level framework
 ========================
+.. versionchanged:: 1.2
 Overview
 --------
+The high-level feed-generating framework is a view that's hooked to ``/feeds/``
+by default. Django uses the remainder of the URL (everything after ``/feeds/``)
+to determine which feed to output.
+To create a feed, just write a :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.feeds.Feed`
+class and point to it in your :ref:`URLconf <topics-http-urls>`.
+Initialization
+--------------
+To activate syndication feeds on your Django site, add this line to your
+:ref:`URLconf <topics-http-urls>`::
+   (r'^feeds/(?P<url>.*)/$', 'django.contrib.syndication.views.feed', {'feed_dict': feeds}),
+This tells Django to use the RSS framework to handle all URLs starting with
+:file:`"feeds/"`. (You can change that :file:`"feeds/"` prefix to fit your own
+needs.)
+This URLconf line has an extra argument: ``{'feed_dict': feeds}``. Use this
+extra argument to pass the syndication framework the feeds that should be
+published under that URL.
+Specifically, :data:`feed_dict` should be a dictionary that maps a feed's slug
+(short URL label) to its :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.feeds.Feed` class.
+You can define the ``feed_dict`` in the URLconf itself. Here's a full example
+URLconf::
+    from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
+    from myproject.feeds import LatestEntries, LatestEntriesByCategory
+    feeds = {
+        'latest': LatestEntries,
+        'categories': LatestEntriesByCategory,
+    }
+    urlpatterns = patterns('',
+        # ...
+        (r'^feeds/(?P<url>.*)/$', 'django.contrib.syndication.views.feed',
+            {'feed_dict': feeds}),
+        # ...
+    )
+The above example registers two feeds:
+    * The feed represented by ``LatestEntries`` will live at ``feeds/latest/``.
+    * The feed represented by ``LatestEntriesByCategory`` will live at
+      ``feeds/categories/``.
+Once that's set up, you just need to define the
+:class:`~django.contrib.syndication.feeds.Feed` classes themselves.
+The high-level feed-generating framework is supplied by the
+:class:`~django.contrib.syndication.views.Feed` class. To create a feed, just write a :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.views.Feed`
+class and point to an instance of it in your :ref:`URLconf <topics-http-urls>`.
 Feed classes
 ------------
 A :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.feeds.Feed` class is a simple Python class
+A :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.views.Feed` class is a Python class
 that represents a syndication feed. A feed can be simple (e.g., a "site news"
 feed, or a basic feed displaying the latest entries of a blog) or more complex
 (e.g., a feed displaying all the blog entries in a particular category, where
 the category is variable).
 :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.feeds.Feed` classes must subclass
 ``django.contrib.syndication.feeds.Feed``. They can live anywhere in your
+:class:`~django.contrib.syndication.views.Feed` classes subclass
+``django.contrib.syndication.views.Feed``. They can live anywhere in your
 codebase.
+Instances of :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.views.Feed` classes are views
+which can be used in your :ref:`URLconf <topics-http-urls>`.
 A simple example
 ----------------
 This simple example, taken from `chicagocrime.org`_, describes a feed of the
 latest five news items::
     from django.contrib.syndication.feeds import Feed
+    from django.contrib.syndication.views import Feed
     from chicagocrime.models import NewsItem
     class LatestEntries(Feed):
+    class LatestEntriesFeed(Feed):
         title = "Chicagocrime.org site news"
         link = "/sitenews/"
         description = "Updates on changes and additions to chicagocrime.org."
         def items(self):
             return NewsItem.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5]
+        def item_title(self, item):
+            return item.title
+        def item_description(self, item):
+            return item.description
+To connect a URL to this feed, it needs to be put in your :ref:`URLconf <topics-http-urls>`. Here is a full example::
+    from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
+    from myproject.feeds import LatestEntriesFeed
+    urlpatterns = patterns('',
+        # ...
+        (r'^latest/feed/$', LatestEntriesFeed()),
+        # ...
+    )
 Note:
 * The class subclasses ``django.contrib.syndication.feeds.Feed``.
+* The class subclasses ``django.contrib.syndication.views.Feed``.
 * :attr:`title`, :attr:`link` and :attr:`description` correspond to the
   standard RSS ``<title>``, ``<link>`` and ``<description>`` elements,
-…
+               One thing's left to do. In an RSS feed, each ``<item>`` has a ``<title>``,
 ``<link>`` and ``<description>``. We need to tell the framework what data to put
 into those elements.
+    * To specify the contents of ``<title>`` and ``<description>``, create
+      :ref:`Django templates <topics-templates>` called
+      :file:`feeds/latest_title.html` and
+      :file:`feeds/latest_description.html`, where :attr:`latest` is the
+      :attr:`slug` specified in the URLconf for the given feed. Note the
+      ``.html`` extension is required. The RSS system renders that template for
+      each item, passing it two template context variables:
+    * For the contents of ``<title>`` and ``<description>``, Django tries
+      calling the methods :meth:`item_title()` and :meth:`item_description()` on
+      the :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.views.Feed` class. They are passed
+      a single parameter, :attr:`item`, which is the object itself. These are
+      optional; by default, the unicode representation of the object is used for
+      both.
+      If you want to do any special formatting for either the title or
+      description, :ref:`Django templates <topics-templates>` can be used
+      instead. Their paths can be specified with the ``title_template`` and
+      ``description_template`` attributes on the
+      :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.views.Feed` class. The templates are
+      rendered for each item and are passed two template context variables:
          * ``{{ obj }}`` -- The current object (one of whichever objects you
            returned in :meth:`items()`).
-…
+               into those elements.
            :ref:`RequestSite section of the sites framework documentation
            <requestsite-objects>` for more.
+      If you don't create a template for either the title or description, the
+      framework will use the template ``"{{ obj }}"`` by default -- that is, the
+      normal string representation of the object. You can also change the names
+      of these two templates by specifying ``title_template`` and
+      ``description_template`` as attributes of your
+      :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.feeds.Feed` class.
+      See `a complex example`_ below that uses a description template.
     * To specify the contents of ``<link>``, you have two options. For each item
+      in :meth:`items()`, Django first tries calling a method
+      :meth:`item_link()` in the :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.feeds.Feed`
+      class, passing it a single parameter, :attr:`item`, which is the object
+      itself. If that method doesn't exist, Django tries executing a
+      ``get_absolute_url()`` method on that object. . Both
+      ``get_absolute_url()`` and :meth:`item_link()` should return the item's
+      URL as a normal Python string. As with ``get_absolute_url()``, the result
+      of :meth:`item_link()` will be included directly in the URL, so you are
+      responsible for doing all necessary URL quoting and conversion to ASCII
+      inside the method itself.
+    * For the LatestEntries example above, we could have very simple feed
+      templates:
+      * latest_title.html:
+        .. code-block:: html+django
+            {{ obj.title }}
+      * latest_description.html:
+        .. code-block:: html+django
+            {{ obj.description }}
+      in :meth:`items()`, Django first tries calling the
+      :meth:`item_link()` method on the
+      :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.views.Feed` class. In a similar way to
+      the title and description, it is passed it a single parameter,
+      :attr:`item`. If that method doesn't exist, Django tries executing a
+      ``get_absolute_url()`` method on that object. Both
+      :meth:`get_absolute_url()` and :meth:`item_link()` should return the
+      item's URL as a normal Python string. As with ``get_absolute_url()``, the
+      result of :meth:`item_link()` will be included directly in the URL, so you
+      are responsible for doing all necessary URL quoting and conversion to
+      ASCII inside the method itself.

 A complex example
 -----------------
 The framework also supports more complex feeds, via parameters.
+The framework also supports more complex feeds, via arguments.
 For example, `chicagocrime.org`_ offers an RSS feed of recent crimes for every
 police beat in Chicago. It'd be silly to create a separate
 :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.feeds.Feed` class for each police beat; that
+:class:`~django.contrib.syndication.views.Feed` class for each police beat; that
 would violate the :ref:`DRY principle <dry>` and would couple data to
+programming logic. Instead, the syndication framework lets you make generic
+feeds that output items based on information in the feed's URL.
+programming logic. Instead, the syndication framework lets you access the
+arguments passed from your :ref:`URLconf <topics-http-urls>` so feeds can output
+items based on information in the feed's URL.
 On chicagocrime.org, the police-beat feeds are accessible via URLs like this:
+    * :file:`/rss/beats/0613/` -- Returns recent crimes for beat 0613.
+    * :file:`/rss/beats/1424/` -- Returns recent crimes for beat 1424.
+    * :file:`/beats/0613/rss/` -- Returns recent crimes for beat 0613.
+    * :file:`/beats/1424/rss/` -- Returns recent crimes for beat 1424.
+These can be matched with a :ref:`URLconf <topics-http-urls>` line such as::
+The slug here is ``"beats"``. The syndication framework sees the extra URL bits
+after the slug -- ``0613`` and ``1424`` -- and gives you a hook to tell it what
+those URL bits mean, and how they should influence which items get published in
+the feed.
+    (r'^beats/(?P<beat>\d+)/rss/$', BeatFeed()),
+An example makes this clear. Here's the code for these beat-specific feeds::
+Like a view, the arguments in the URL are passed to the :meth:`get_object()`
+method along with the request object. Here's the code for these beat-specific
+feeds::
+    from django.contrib.syndication.feeds import FeedDoesNotExist
+    from django.core.exceptions import ObjectDoesNotExist
+    from django.contrib.syndication.views import FeedDoesNotExist
     class BeatFeed(Feed):
+        def get_object(self, bits):
+            # In case of "/rss/beats/0613/foo/bar/baz/", or other such clutter,
+            # check that bits has only one member.
+            if len(bits) != 1:
+                raise ObjectDoesNotExist
+            return Beat.objects.get(beat__exact=bits[0])
+        description_template = 'feeds/beat_description.html'
+        def get_object(self, request, beat):
+            return Beat.objects.get(beat__exact=beat)
         def title(self, obj):
             return "Chicagocrime.org: Crimes for beat %s" % obj.beat
         def link(self, obj):
-            if not obj:
-                raise FeedDoesNotExist
             return obj.get_absolute_url()
         def description(self, obj):
             return "Crimes recently reported in police beat %s" % obj.beat
         def items(self, obj):
+           return Crime.objects.filter(beat__id__exact=obj.id).order_by('-crime_date')[:30]
+Here's the basic algorithm the RSS framework follows, given this class and a
+request to the URL :file:`/rss/beats/0613/`:
+    * The framework gets the URL :file:`/rss/beats/0613/` and notices there's an
+      extra bit of URL after the slug. It splits that remaining string by the
+      slash character (``"/"``) and calls the
+      :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.feeds.Feed` class'
+      :meth:`get_object()` method, passing it the bits. In this case, bits is
+      ``['0613']``. For a request to :file:`/rss/beats/0613/foo/bar/`, bits
+      would be ``['0613', 'foo', 'bar']``.
+    * :meth:`get_object()` is responsible for retrieving the given beat, from
+      the given ``bits``. In this case, it uses the Django database API to
+      retrieve the beat. Note that :meth:`get_object()` should raise
+      :exc:`django.core.exceptions.ObjectDoesNotExist` if given invalid
+      parameters. There's no ``try``/``except`` around the
+      ``Beat.objects.get()`` call, because it's not necessary; that function
+      raises :exc:`Beat.DoesNotExist` on failure, and :exc:`Beat.DoesNotExist`
+      is a subclass of :exc:`ObjectDoesNotExist`. Raising
+      :exc:`ObjectDoesNotExist` in :meth:`get_object()` tells Django to produce
+      a 404 error for that request.
+      .. versionadded:: 1.0
+         :meth:`get_object()` can handle the :file:`/rss/beats/` url.
+      The :meth:`get_object()` method also has a chance to handle the
+      :file:`/rss/beats/` url. In this case, :data:`bits` will be an
+      empty list. In our example, ``len(bits) != 1`` and an
+      :exc:`ObjectDoesNotExist` exception will be raised, so
+      :file:`/rss/beats/` will generate a 404 page. But you can handle this case
+      however you like. For example, you could generate a combined feed for all
+      beats.
+    * To generate the feed's ``<title>``, ``<link>`` and ``<description>``,
+      Django uses the :meth:`title()`, :meth:`link()` and :meth:`description()`
+      methods. In the previous example, they were simple string class
+      attributes, but this example illustrates that they can be either strings
+      *or* methods. For each of :attr:`title`, :attr:`link` and
+      :attr:`description`, Django follows this algorithm:
+        * First, it tries to call a method, passing the ``obj`` argument, where
+          ``obj`` is the object returned by :meth:`get_object()`.
+        * Failing that, it tries to call a method with no arguments.
+        * Failing that, it uses the class attribute.
+      Inside the :meth:`link()` method, we handle the possibility that ``obj``
+      might be ``None``, which can occur when the URL isn't fully specified. In
+      some cases, you might want to do something else in this case, which would
+      mean you'd need to check for ``obj`` existing in other methods as well.
+      (The :meth:`link()` method is called very early in the feed generation
+      process, so it's a good place to bail out early.)
+    * Finally, note that :meth:`items()` in this example also takes the ``obj``
+      argument. The algorithm for :attr:`items` is the same as described in the
+      previous step -- first, it tries :meth:`items(obj)`, then :meth:`items()`,
+      then finally an :attr:`items` class attribute (which should be a list).
+            return Crime.objects.filter(beat=obj).order_by('-crime_date')[:30]
+To generate the feed's ``<title>``, ``<link>`` and ``<description>``, Django
+uses the :meth:`title()`, :meth:`link()` and :meth:`description()` methods. In
+the previous example, they were simple string class attributes, but this example
+illustrates that they can be either strings *or* methods. For each of
+:attr:`title`, :attr:`link` and :attr:`description`, Django follows this
+algorithm:
+    * First, it tries to call a method, passing the ``obj`` argument, where
+      ``obj`` is the object returned by :meth:`get_object()`.
+    * Failing that, it tries to call a method with no arguments.
+    * Failing that, it uses the class attribute.
+Also note that :meth:`items()` also follows the same algorithm -- first, it
+tries :meth:`items(obj)`, then :meth:`items()`, then finally an :attr:`items`
+class attribute (which should be a list).
+We are using a template for the item descriptions. It can be very simple:
+.. code-block:: html+django
+    {{ obj.description }}
+However, you are free to add formatting as required.

 Specifying the type of feed
 ---------------------------
-…
+               Specifying the type of feed
 By default, feeds produced in this framework use RSS 2.0.
 To change that, add a ``feed_type`` attribute to your
 :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.feeds.Feed` class, like so::
+:class:`~django.contrib.syndication.views.Feed` class, like so::
     from django.utils.feedgenerator import Atom1Feed
-…
+               Publishing Atom and RSS feeds in tandem
 Some developers like to make available both Atom *and* RSS versions of their
 feeds. That's easy to do with Django: Just create a subclass of your
 :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.feeds.Feed`
+:class:`~django.contrib.syndication.views.Feed`
 class and set the :attr:`feed_type` to something different. Then update your
 URLconf to add the extra versions.
 Here's a full example::
     from django.contrib.syndication.feeds import Feed
+    from django.contrib.syndication.views import Feed
     from chicagocrime.models import NewsItem
     from django.utils.feedgenerator import Atom1Feed
-…
+               Here's a full example::
     a feed-level "description," but they *do* provide for a "subtitle."
     If you provide a :attr:`description` in your
     :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.feeds.Feed` class, Django will *not*
+    :class:`~django.contrib.syndication.views.Feed` class, Django will *not*
     automatically put that into the :attr:`subtitle` element, because a
     subtitle and description are not necessarily the same thing. Instead, you
     should define a :attr:`subtitle` attribute.
-…
+               And the accompanying URLconf::
     from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
     from myproject.feeds import RssSiteNewsFeed, AtomSiteNewsFeed
-    feeds = {
-        'rss': RssSiteNewsFeed,
-        'atom': AtomSiteNewsFeed,
+    }
     urlpatterns = patterns('',
         # ...
         (r'^feeds/(?P<url>.*)/$', 'django.contrib.syndication.views.feed',
             {'feed_dict': feeds}),
+        (r'^sitenews/rss/$', RssSiteNewsFeed()),

+The syndication ``Feed`` class has been replaced by
+``django.contrib.syndication.views.Feed``, and will be removed in Django 1.4.
+The new class has an almost identical API, but allows instances to be used as
+views. For example, consider the feeds using the old framework in the following
+:ref:`URLconf <topics-http-urls>`::
+    from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
+    from myproject.feeds import LatestEntries, LatestEntriesByCategory
+    feeds = {
+        'latest': LatestEntries,
+        'categories': LatestEntriesByCategory,
+    }
+    urlpatterns = patterns('',
+        # ...
+        (r'^feeds/(?P<url>.*)/$', 'django.contrib.syndication.views.feed',
+            {'feed_dict': feeds}),
+        # ...
+    )
+This should be replaced by::
+    from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
+    from myproject.feeds import LatestEntries, LatestEntriesByCategory
+    urlpatterns = patterns('',
+        # ...
+        (r'^feeds/latest/$', LatestEntries()),
+        (r'^feeds/categories/(?P<category_id>\d+)/$', LatestEntriesByCategory()),
+        # ...
+    )
+The ``LatestEntries`` class would be identical, apart from subclassing from the
+new ``Feed`` class. However, ``LatestEntriesByCategory`` used the
+``get_object()`` method with the ``bits`` argument to specify a specific
+category to show. Much like a view, the ``get_object()`` method now takes a
+``request`` and arguments from the URL, so it would look like this::
+    from django.contrib.syndication.views import Feed
+    from django.shortcuts import get_object_or_404
+    from myproject.models import Category
+    class LatestEntriesByCategory(Feed):
+        def get_object(self, request, category_id):
+            return get_object_or_404(Category, id=category_id)
+        # ...
+For more information, see the full :ref:`syndication framework documentation
+<ref-contrib-syndication>`.
 What's new in Django 1.2
 ========================
-…
+               alternative to the normal primary-key based object references in a
 fixture, improving readability, and resolving problems referring to
 objects whose primary key value may not be predictable or known.
+Syndication feeds as views
+--------------------------
+:ref:`Syndication feeds <ref-contrib-syndication>` can now be used directly as
+views in your :ref:`URLconf <topics-http-urls>`. Previously, all the feeds on a
+site had to live beneath a single URL, which produced ugly, unnatural URLs.
+For example, suppose you listed blog posts for the "django" tag under
+``/blog/django/``. In previous versions of Django, a feed for those posts would
+have had to be something like ``/feeds/blog-tag/django/``. In Django 1.2, it
+could simply be ``/blog/django/feed/``.
+Like any other view, feeds are now passed a ``request`` object, so you can
+do user based access control amongst other things.
