/*
 * This function returns a String containing the HTML representing
 * the contents of the file provided. Only the first parameter
 * (the name of the file containing the RSS content) is required.
 *
 * $file_name - name of the file containing the RSS data. This
 *   file is specified in terms the operating system will understand
 *   (i.e. a file name, not a URL)
 *
 * $rss_url - If provided, an "RSS" link will be rendered. When clicked
 *   the user will be sent to this URL. Use this to provide the user with
 *   a way to access the RSS file directly (so they can use it in their
 *   favourite news reader. Defaults to false meaning that no "RSS" link
 *   be rendered.
 *
 * $more_url - If provided, a "More" link will be rendered. When clicked
 *   the user will be sent to this URL. This is intended to be used to send
 *   the user to more information about the news feed. If you're displaying
 *   a 'short' format of the news, you might use this to provide a link to
 *   a 'long' format version of the same information. Defaults to "false"
 *   meaning that no "More" link will be rendered.
 *
 * $format - either 'long' or 'short'. Currently toggles whether
 *   or not the description is shown (shown only if set to 'long'). Defaults
 *   to 'long'.
 *
 * $count - the maximum number of entries displayed. Defaults to 1000.
 *   Note that no sorting is done; items are displayed as they occur in the
 *   file.
 *
 * Examples
 *
 * $file_name = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/webtools/wtpnews.rss";
 *
 * To get the HTML representation of the RSS file located at $file_name
 * with no links to the RSS file, or to more information, displaying a
 * long format (including the description):
 *
 * $news = rss_to_html($file_name);
 *
 * This one includes a link to the RSS file. Note that the URL is provided
 * relative to the root of eclipse.org. Whatever value you provide is
 * substituted as-is, so you can put pretty much anything here. In general,
 * the same file should be provided for both $file_name and $rss_url (the
 * file is referenced differently from within and without the server).
 *
 * $news = rss_to_html($file_name, '/webtools/wtpnews.rss');
 *
 * Same as above, but in 'short' format (no description). By sending false
 * as the value for the 'more' URL, the more link is not rendered.
 *
 * $news = rss_to_html($file_name, '/webtools/wtpnews.rss', false, 'short');
 *
 * Only display the top seven entries in the file.
 *
 * $news = rss_to_html($file_name, '/webtools/wtpnews.rss', false, 'short', 7);
