Rss is stored in *. xml files. it s so called extention marrkup language. It s very common like HTML but is more strict yet flexible.
for example ALL XML tags (see html tags is you dont know what I ma talking about) should have enclodes tag so <img> or <br> tags are wrong the way its written and all tags which HAVE NO closing tags should have “/” before the closing symbol > so
<img /> and <br /> is correct
