    Cannot show link in RSS feed macro

    Umbraco 6.x.  Trying to follow the instructions at this URL for building an RSS feed in Razor. 

    http://umbraco.com/help-and-support/video-tutorials/umbraco-fundamentals/razor-recipes/rss.aspx

    Inside "item" -> "link" it doesn't matter what I put, it always causes the macro to error out.  I can put code like @item.Url or just type "xyz anything", and the macro always errors to "Cannot show partial view script...blah blah". If I leave blank, then it loads.

    I saw on the forums that a couple others had the same problem, but there was no solution.  Help?  Thanks!

    Oh, I just saw that in Visual Studio it says "code is not allowed between the opening and closing tags for 'link'".  So.......is there a way around that?

    I came up with a workaround, in case anyone else has this issue. Instead of the link tags, put this -

    @Html.Raw("<link>")http://@item.GetFullNiceUrl()@Html.Raw("</link>")

    Here's the full rss code from the razor macro...

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <rss version="2.0">
    <channel>
        <title>@feedTitle</title>
        <link>http://@blog.GetFullNiceUrl()</link>;
        <description>@description</description>
        <pubDate>@lastUpdated.ToString("r")</pubDate>
        <lastBuildDate>@lastUpdated.ToString("r")</lastBuildDate>
        <language>en</language>
        @{
            foreach (var item in blogPosts)
            {
                <item>
                    <title>@item.Name</title>
                    @Html.Raw("<link>")http://@item.GetFullNiceUrl()@Html.Raw("</link>")
                    <pubDate>@DateTime.Parse(item.GetProperty("PostDate").Value).ToString("r")</pubDate>
                    <guid>@item.NiceUrl</guid>
                    <description><![CDATA[<span>@item.GetProperty("description").Value</span>]]></description>
                </item>
            }
        }
    </channel>
    </rss>
