hugo default RSS injects generator tag with disableHugoGeneratorInject

[carandraug]

The default RSS inserts the tag

<generator>Hugo -- gohugo.io</generator>

even when the configuration sets disableHugoGeneratorInject.

I tried to make it conditional on the default file but couldn't figure out how to check the value of disableHugoGeneratorInject in a template.

disableHugoGeneratorInject is meant for the generator meta tag in HTML files. We don't inject anything in RSS files -- we have a built-in template that _creates_ the XML, including that generator tag. If you don't want it, please provide your own RSS template. For further questions, please use http://discuss.gohugo.io/. Also see Hugo Documentation.

It can be spun whatever way you want. I would spun it in that the reason to set disableHugoGeneratorInject is to not have generator tags on pages, whether they are "injected" or default on template.

If you don't want it, please provide your own RSS template.

I already do. I just noticed this surprising behaviour and thought of trying to fix it.

I actually concur with @carandraug that disableHugoGeneratorInject should apply to the RSS template as well. I was also surprised to find that disableHugoGeneratorInject didn't also apply to RSS.

Should I open a feature request? Could this ticket be reopened as made into a feature request?
