A new "rss" Parameter to Control Post Visibility in RSS Feeds

[i-shivamsoni]

Currently, all posts in this theme are automatically included in the RSS feeds, which might not always be desirable. There are scenarios where users might prefer to keep certain posts internal or only for direct website visitors, without broadcasting them via RSS feeds.
I propose the introduction of a new parameter for posts, named rss, which controls whether a post is included in the RSS feeds. This parameter can have two possible values:
rss = "on": The post is included in the RSS feeds. This is the default behavior, ensuring backward compatibility.
rss = "off": The post is excluded from the RSS feeds, making it accessible only through direct website navigation or other specified channels.

Implementation Details:
The rss parameter could be added to the post metadata section, allowing content creators to easily specify their preference on a per-post basis. For example:

yaml

---
title: "A Sample Post"
date: "2024-02-19"
rss: "off"
---

I use similar setting for the search function

hugo-theme-tailwind/layouts/search/search.json

Line 2 in 537f447

{{- $pages := where .Site.RegularPages "Params.hidden" "!=" true -}}

Actually one can customize the RSS templates by https://gohugo.io/templates/rss/.
I'll take this as a feature request.
