<div></div>
</div>
<p>The content type of the copyright statement for the source of this entry.</p>
<p>Most likely values for <tt class="varname">type</tt>:</p>
<div class="itemizedlist"><ul>
<li><tt class="constant">text/plain</tt></li>
<li><tt class="constant">text/html</tt></li>
<li><tt class="constant">application/xhtml+xml</tt></li>
</ul></div>
<p>For Atom feeds, the content type is taken from the <tt class="sgmltag-attribute">type</tt> attribute, which defaults to <tt class="constant">text/plain</tt> if not specified. For <acronym title="Rich Site Summary">RSS</acronym> feeds, the content type is auto-determined by inspecting the content, and defaults to <tt class="constant">text/html</tt>. Note that this may cause silent data loss if the value contains plain text with angle brackets. There is nothing I can do about this problem; it is a limitation of <acronym title="Rich Site Summary">RSS</acronym>.</p>
<p>Future enhancement: some versions of <acronym title="Rich Site Summary">RSS</acronym> clearly specify that certain values default to <tt class="constant">text/plain</tt>, and <span class="application">Universal Feed Parser</span> should respect this, but it doesn't yet.</p>

<p>The language of the copyright statement for the source of this entry.</p>
