Thanks again. That seems to nuke my RSS2 feeds entirely, though.

To make sure I have the semantics right, I delete the word CATNUM and replace it with the number 6 (News is category 6). No other modification – I tried single quotes on each/both, just to see – and the spacing remains identical to the above. I paste it into wp-rss2.php immediately below the loop start (and immediately above the “item” tag). I do not paste in the previous code I had been using (although I did try it both ways).

Did I get that right? (I’m hoping I missed something, because then it’ll be easy to fix.)

Thanks. Unfortunately, if I use the code in the RSS2 loop, it has the side effect of not showing that category’s articles even on the News category page’s feed – that is, my bulleted News links disappear from the front page, because aggrss was pulling them from /category/news/rss2/.

I’m guessing there needs to be another conditional added in to prevent that – and that’s where my custom coding skills start to break down.

A side question: instead of using aggrss to pull internal links, is it possible to use an internal function like get_archives to pull up posts from just one category?

I have to agree that as it stands, the ability to easily customize simple text formatting is “broken” for Links. I can put in the work to get around the limitation (now that I know where the problem is – thanks for that), but this definitely makes WP harder to use for those trying to customize their own pages.

If a formatting attribute must be hard-coded (for programming ease, I presume) it should use unique attributes that can be changed in style.css, independently of other items on the page (that is, no h2 or li). Maybe a fix – sorry, “feature enhancement” – for 1.5.1…
