Add support for image element

[XhmikosR]

Example: https://github.com/mpc-hc/mpc-hc.org/blob/master/source/rss.xml#L22-L29

Yes, love it. But we would need to make sure that such an image actually exists in the site first.

Is there a way to do this without just config 🎄?

Also, perhaps #2 should be sorted out first, before diving too deep into these features?

[XhmikosR]

I don't think you can do that since the URL is the remote one. So one might upload it at a later time. Also note that this only seems to work with IE and Firefox that I have tested; Chrome doesn't show this without an extension.

Since this is an optional element, I'd say whoever is using it knows what to do with it :P

What I think we could have is a check for the dimensions since the specs have a limit there.

I just mean we shouldn't start including an <image> in all feeds; there would need to be either a setting or something to specify the image URL, or a check for a specific file to be used as the image if it existed.

[XhmikosR]

Oh, that. Sure.

But IMO all image sub-elements should be mandatory so we should check for all of them.

In Atom, this is called <logo>, and there is also <icon> for favicon type images.

(Just leaving notes for myself.)

Any updates on this one now that #2 is resolved?

[XhmikosR]

That is a post image though. Not a site wide one. Does atom support image
in root?

@XhmikosR Do you know of a feed reader that displays a per feed image? How would this be used?

[XhmikosR]

I know Firefox shows the image to the right. But that was with RSS. Not sure if atom supports it. The original request was from when this repo was RSS.

[pathawks]

FWIW, WordPress adds a square 32px icon to Atom feeds.

I am not sure what this would be used for and I can't think of any way to add support for it without adding a config option (:christmas_tree:), so I am not enthusiastic about the idea.

[XhmikosR]

A config option will be needed that for sure.

I just feel an image makes things more official in a feed. It's the only thing I miss from my old RSS custom solution I was using.

Is this implemented yet?
