Here is the Makefile [last] only one problem, the XSLT file or
xsltproc tool (?) doesn't seem to transform the HTML into RSS,
really, output is basically a text file with no markup
whatsoever except for the first line which is

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

Maybe I do something wrong?

name = tree-house

src = ${name}.html

srcpp = ${name}-pp.html

trans = html2rss.xsl

dst = ${name}.rss

opts = --html

all: ${dst}

${srcpp}: ${src}
	sed -e 's/<\/*fig\(ure\|caption\)>//g' $< > $@

${dst}: ${srcpp}
	xsltproc -o $@ ${opts} ${trans} $<
