How to only post the url to the issue instead of the body?

Results in:

But I would like only the url. Is it possible?

Looking at the code it looks like this would need to be adjusted:

rss-to-issues/index.js

Lines 94 to 97 in 668f251

	// truncate if characterLimit > 0
	if (characterLimit && markdown.length > characterLimit) {
	markdown = `${markdown.substr(0, characterLimit)}…\n\n---\n## Would you like to know more?\nRead the full article on the following website:`
	}

Would you accept a PR to either:

1. Have a value of 0 to not have anything except the url
2. Have a negative value (e.g. -1) to not have anything except the url
3. Add an input option to only show the url

Let's read the code together. Here is how the issue body is constructed:

      let markdown = html2md(content)


      // truncate if characterLimit > 0
      if (characterLimit && markdown.length > characterLimit) {
        markdown = `${markdown.substr(0, characterLimit)}…\n\n---\n## Would you like to know more?\nRead the full article on the following website:`
      }


      // Render issue content
      const body = `${markdown || ''}\n${item.link ? `\n${item.link}` : ''}`

So no, at the moment there is no option to only post the URL. Could potentially be a fine opportunity for you to contribute your first feature.

Either sounds plausible. What would you deem the most elegant one?

Thanks for the fast response!

I would probably select option 1, but this might break something for anyone expecting the content to be there. So probably option 3. I will work on that and submit something for review this week. Thanks!
