Aaron, I'm not sure what he means either, but this might be it..

In Manila, we automatically generate RSS and <scriptingNews> format XML from
carriage-return-delimited text.

It's not hard to do, but it only works if the author of the content puts a
pair of carriage returns between each news item.

It could easily work in any other CMS, or even from HTML text. The key is
that the author follow some regular pattern for news items, and then the
script harvests the information from the source text.
