disclaimer

this script is not meant to be used as is.

expect to do a lot of modification to fit your needs, as this was created specifically for my site structure and blog markup.

how it basically works

1. match files in a specificied directory.
2. load the DOM of each file.
3. parse values retrieved from the following strings/HTML elements, as children of a feed <entry>:
   • <h2> as <title>
   • the datetime attribute of <time> as <updated>
   • <element class="p-summary"> as <summary>
   • <element class="e-content"> (or <element class="entry" for older markup) as <content>
   • /path/to/blog/entry as <id>/<link>
4. output all of the above in a new file (named articles.xml).

usage

configure a cron job on your server to run this script automatically every now and then, and voila~
