+[Hugo's default RSS feed template][default] truncates [RSS][] feeds by
+default.  Long time readers [probably know how I feel about that][argh].
+
+I copied the [default Hugo RSS feed template][default] and made the
+following changes:
+
+* Limited the feed to pages in the "Posts" section (**Note:** this may
+  not work for your site).
+* Set the default post limit to 15 posts, because [Hugo][] was trying to
+  include all posts in the [RSS][] feed.
+* Changed feed items to include complete post contents as [HTML][].
+
+The updated template is available [here][gist].  You can use it on your
+site by copying it to `layouts/_default/index.xml`.
