# OPML in FreshRSS FreshRSS supports the [OPML](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OPML) format to export and import lists of RSS/Atom feeds in a standard way, compatible with several other RSS aggregators. However, FreshRSS also supports several additional features not covered by the basic OPML specification. Luckily, the [OPML specification](http://opml.org/spec2.opml) allows extensions: > *An OPML file may contain elements and attributes not described on this page, only if those elements are defined in a namespace.* and: > *OPML can also be extended by the addition of new values for the type attribute.* ## FreshRSS OPML extension FreshRSS uses the XML namespace to export/import extended information not covered by the basic OPML specification. The list of the custom FreshRSS attributes can be seen in [the source code](https://github.com/FreshRSS/FreshRSS/blob/edge/app/views/helpers/export/opml.phtml), and here is an overview: ### HTML+XPath * ` ℹ️ [XPath 1.0](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XPath) is a standard query language, which FreshRSS supports to enable [Web scraping](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_scraping). The following attributes are using similar naming conventions than [RSS-Bridge](https://rss-bridge.github.io/rss-bridge/Bridge_API/XPathAbstract.html). * `frss:xPathItem`: XPath expression for extracting the feed items from the source page. * Example: `//div[@class="news-item"]` * `frss:xPathItemTitle`: XPath expression for extracting the feed title from the source page. * Example: `descendant::h2` * `frss:xPathItemContent`: XPath expression for extracting an item’s content from the item context. * Example: `.` * `frss:xPathItemUri`: XPath expression for extracting an item link from the item context. * Example: `descendant::a/@href` * `frss:xPathItemAuthor`: XPath expression for extracting an item author from the item context. * Example: `"Anonymous"` * `frss:xPathItemTimestamp`: XPath expression for extracting an item timestamp from the item context. The result will be parsed by [`strtotime()`](https://php.net/strtotime). * `frss:xPathItemThumbnail`: XPath expression for extracting an item’s thumbnail (image) URL from the item context. * Example: `descendant::img/@src` * `frss:xPathItemCategories`: XPath expression for extracting a list of categories (tags) from the item context. * `frss:xPathItemUid`: XPath expression for extracting an item’s unique ID from the item context. If left empty, a hash is computed automatically. ### Miscellaneous * `frss:cssFullContent`: [CSS Selector](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Selectors) to enable the download and extraction of the matching HTML section of each articles’ Web address. * Example: `div.main, .summary` * `frss:cssFullContentFilter`: [CSS Selector](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Selectors) to remove the matching HTML elements from the full content retrieved by `frss:cssFullContent`. * Example: `.footer, .aside` * `frss:filtersActionRead`: List (separated by a new line) of search queries to automatically mark a new article as read. ### Dynamic OPML (reading lists) * `frss:opmlUrl`: If non-empty, indicates that this outline (category) should be dynamically populated from a remote OPML at the specified URL. ### Example ```xml FreshRSS OPML extension example ```
