Hi risto,
Could you better explain what you want to do?
You can use custom tag and include html, plain text in xml filed.

risto when you say "Non RSS" do you mean the file is not XML? What format is the file? Maybe an example of the script and the content you are trying to fetch will make your requirements a little clearer.
Cheers!

im using
function URLopen($url,$today)
it saves the content in a file named by the date ie"25_11_2005.txt"
Now what I would like to do is get this content displayed on the page.
the php script checs the date and if its been incremented compared to what is on the server ie 26_11_2005 and not 25_11_2005 then it fetches the content again andcreates a new file.
There might be a better way of dooing this. If so please share. But this stuff is very easy in plain PHP I just dont understad how to display the content in eZ.
