Node value

The node value is a decimal number. It is required.

Attributes

display: If this attribute is present, podcast apps and aggregators are encouraged to show its value instead of the purely numerical node value. This attribute is a string.

The episode numbers are decimal, so numbering such as 100.5 is acceptable if there was a special mini-episode published between two other episodes. In that scenario, the number would help with proper chronological sorting, while the display attribute could specify an alternate special "number" (a moniker) to display for the episode in a podcast player app UI.

Please do not exceed 32 characters for the display attribute.

Details

This element exists largely for compatibility with the season tag. But, it also allows for a similar idea to what "name" functions as in that element.
