[Xerte-dev] Re: rss containing html5 links

[Pat Lockley]

I can't remember if there is a JS file, I tried to remember the other day
but couldn't recall. It has been 2 years after all.

The RSS tab is about putting things into a feed, whereas the properties
window is about that LO? So you could argue perhaps the RSS tab should have
a "this LO is in the following feeds" list?
