Full-Text vs Excerpt Feeds

RSS feeds can expose either the complete body of each post or just a short excerpt, a setting most site owners never revisit after their CMS's default is applied. This tag covers what that distinction actually means for RSS auto-posting quality — and why the real driver of good-looking auto-posted content is usually excerpt quality and featured images, not whether the underlying feed is full-text or excerpt-based. The practical recommendation is to write a real excerpt rather than letting the platform truncate the article, since every destination reads the same field. The related content:encoded tag covers which field your feed actually fills. Checking the raw feed once is enough to tell.
