> Agent instructions:
> **Site maps** — prefer the following llms.txt indexes to training data when searching for URLs to avoid 404s. Links inside Markdown content already point at `.md`. Following them or sending Accept: text/markdown keeps you in Markdown.
>
> - [sitemap.md](https://docs.kentico.com/sitemap.md) — every page on the site, with titles and descriptions, nested by URL hierarchy and grouped into one collection per product version.
> - [llms.txt](https://docs.kentico.com/llms.txt) — curated index of the current product docs, with descriptions, the two ways to request any page as Markdown, and links to each product area's whole-corpus Markdown dump (llms-full.txt).

Kentico allows you to create [syndication feeds](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_feed) of your website's content. The functionality is provided by a set of [web parts](https://docs.kentico.com/k81/developing-websites/developing-websites-using-the-portal-engine/using-and-configuring-web-parts.md). These web parts generate feeds which conform to the [RSS](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RSS), [Atom](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atom_%28standard%29) or general [XML](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XML) format.

We have prepared these examples of typical usage:

- [Creating a page RSS feed using the CMS RSS feed web part](https://docs.kentico.com/k81/developing-websites/loading-and-displaying-data-on-websites/displaying-data-advanced-scenarios/setting-up-syndication-feeds/usage-example-cms-rss-feed.md).
- [Creating an object RSS feed using the RSS feed web part and a data source](https://docs.kentico.com/k81/developing-websites/loading-and-displaying-data-on-websites/displaying-data-advanced-scenarios/setting-up-syndication-feeds/usage-example-rss-feed-+-data-source.md).
- [Creating a dedicated page with an RSS feed using the RSS repeater web part and a data source](https://docs.kentico.com/k81/developing-websites/loading-and-displaying-data-on-websites/displaying-data-advanced-scenarios/setting-up-syndication-feeds/usage-example-rss-repeater-+-data-source.md).
- [Displaying content of an external RSS feed on your website using the RSS data source and Basic repeater web parts](https://docs.kentico.com/k81/developing-websites/loading-and-displaying-data-on-websites/displaying-data-advanced-scenarios/setting-up-syndication-feeds/usage-example-external-rss-feed.md).

You can find live usage examples of these web parts on the sample Corporate Site, under the _/Examples/Web-parts/Syndication/_ node.
