    <p>Maybe I'm missing something, but your question reads to me like <strong>you are treating RSS and mRSS like markup languages</strong>. And this is a mistake--<strong>they should be consider APIs instead.</strong> RSS ≠ HTML.</p> <p>RSS and mRSS (and any RSS extension) with anything other than plain text will, in my experience, be treated dramatically differently by different RSS reader. Even individual browsers will treat them differently. </p> <p>This all begs the question: What software is your feed going to be consumed by? </p> <ul> <li><strong>Only a custom, internally developed reader?</strong> Then I would suggest changing the reader so that it rendors the <code>&lt;description&gt;</code> with your embedded video so that it formats it to your requirements.</li> <li><strong>Any and all RSS readers?</strong> This is going to be a big problem with anything other than plain text. You'll need to accept that your output is going to be hit-and-miss. Not all readers understand all RSS extensions. Embedding your video into the description is probably going to have generally disappointing results, although that may be your only option. Linking to the video is probably your only safe, consistant option.</li> </ul> <p>Sorry if I've wildly misunderstood your question! </p>

    1. CO@Stu: Thanks for your reply. Perhaps I wasn't so clear in my question - but I'm under no assumption that RSS == HTML. What I meant was that most of the "common" HTML formatting tags work fine (paragraphs, bolds etc.) when the block is enclosed within a CDATA declaration inside the RSS description tag. On the same lines, my idea is to dislpay embedded videos in the feeds in the exact location as it appears in the content. If I use enclosures, the video will appear as an attachment at the end of the feed and not within the flow of the content, making it somwhat contextually irrelevant. Cont...

    2. CO...As for your queries, the reader may be any of the online / offline readers e.g. Google Reader, FeedReader, FeedDemon etc. But as you said, I don't think it'lll be possible to optimize the feed to render exactly the same across all readers. Still, I want it to render with the video wherever possible. I've come across feeds from several sites where content and videos appear intermittently. So there must be a way of doing so. As of now, W3C FeedValidator reports invalid placement of OBJECT tag within DESCRIPTION :(

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
