Thank you Xavier for xmlwash(). I didn't experienced any problems so far with shorten operator, but i'll try your solution.
Anyway, this is not issue here. I know that RSS readers have option to shorten description e.g. at wanted number of lines or characters, but not all of them and not in default settings.
eZ RSS module doesn't have option to <i>manipulate</i> class attributes for RSS export. Only whole or combined (in extension) attributes can be exported to rss 'description field'. I don't have appropriate field to export because 'summary' attribute is missing. First solution is to create it now, and re-publish all blogs with summary entered. This would be dirty solution.
A nicer one is if I could manage to dynamically create this shortened content for export to feed.
Also it is more consistent because of (Xavier Dutoit quote): "Unfortunately, there isn't a simple way to limit the length of that introduction, and some authors have a rather extensive interpretation of it (bless them, some put the complete article into the introduction)" - interesting observation, last one :) Someone know how to solve this? Thanks.
