He writes:

  For example I could render two blog articles foo.md and
  bar.md along with the corresponding rss.xml feed using
  something like the following:

  $ pandoc --template=page -o foo.html foo.md
  $ pandoc --template=page -o bar.html bar.md
  $ pandoc-rss foo.md bar.md > rss.xml \
    -t cosine.blue \
    -d 'Blog by Gregory Chamberlain' \
    -l https://cosine.blue \
    -c 'GPLv3+ or CC BY-SA 4.0' \
    -w 'greg@cosine.blue (Gregory Chamberlain)' \
    -n en-GB
