-===
-
-Summary
--------
-
-An extension to Python-Markdown that outputs a markdown document as RSS. This 
-extension has been included with Python-Markdown since 1.7 and should be 
-available to anyone who has a typical install of Python-Markdown.
-
-Usage
------
-
-From the Python interpreter:
-
-    >>> import markdown
-    >>> text = "Some markdown document."
-    >>> rss = markdown.markdown(text, ['rss'])
-
-Configuring the Output
-----------------------
-
-An RSS document includes some data about the document (URI, author, title) that
-will likely need to be configured for your needs. Therefore, three configuration
-options are available:
-
-* **URL** : The Main URL for the document.
-* **CREATOR** : The Feed creator's name.
-* **TITLE** : The title for the feed.
-
-An example:
-
-    >>> rss = markdown.markdown(text, extensions = \
-    ...        ['rss(URL=http://example.com,CREATOR=JOHN DOE,TITLE=My Document)']
-    ... )
