Hugo's embedded RSS template emits only <description> with .Summary, truncating feed items to the first paragraph. This overrides the embedded template to also emit a <content:encoded> element per item with the full rendered HTML body of the newsletter or topic page. - Adds xmlns:content namespace to <rss> root - Keeps <description> unchanged for readers that only render it - Uses transform.XMLEscape (same pattern as embedded template) - Applies to all 10 language feeds (single template, no per-language work) Verified well-formed XML on Hugo v0.123.7 and v0.140.0 (CI version).

en,de,es,fr,it,ja,ko,nl,pt,zh).<content:encoded>count in every feed (138 EN, 121 per translation).<content:encoded>is ~80KB — from opening welcome line through closing content, all H2 sections intact.Why not an alternative
