Need help with RSS to HTML translator

I recently bought your RSS Editor to create xml files for an RSS feed we offer our customers. Our customers have space on thier websites for our monthly content. We found several Javascript xml to HTML translators that create code that will take an xml file at our url and translate it into html. This is the code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.tanjabaumann.com/feed/feed2js.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fparishpublishing.org%2Fstwminutefeed.xml&chan=y&targ=y&html=a"></script> <noscript> <a href="http://www.tanjabaumann.com/feed/feed2js.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fparishpublishing.org%2Fstwminutefeed.xml&chan=y&targ=y&html=y">View RSS feed</a> </noscript>

Our customers can imbed this code in their websites so that our RSS feed can be read on their site.

However, every XML to HTML translator we found seems to use a thrid party server to get the contents of the xml file and display it on the website. In this case, the third party is www.tanjabaumann.com. When someone views our customer's webpage, the code seems to open an applet on the third party server that goes and gets our xml file from our url and displays it on the customer's website. Assuming we want the full text of our xml file to be visible on our customer's site, is using a third party server like this necessary, or is there a more reliable was of doing it?

We feel very vulnerable having code that relies on a third party server-based translator because we don't know who owns the server or if it will be availabler in the future. Do you know of another way of doing this, or have a product that we could put on our server to serve up the xml on our customer's html pages?

Thank you for your message.
You can try our "Feed2Html free PHP script" - http://www.extralabs.net/feed2html.htm

Also, Feed Editor has a built-in tool for converting RSS to HTML, JS, etc. (see Tools/Export... feature).

To create a RSS feed: open a blank document (shortcut: click the "New" button on the toolbar while holding the Shift key down). Type the titles of news items that you would like to include in the RSS feed (one title per line). Select the lines containing the titles, and invoke the plugin. When the wizard dialog appears, enter RSS feed information including web page addresses related to each news title. Optionally, enter a description for each news item. Click "OK" to generate the RSS tags. The tags will appear in the Output window. Right click inside the Output window and select "Open in New Window." Finally, save the file with a *.rss or *.xml extension such as MySite.rss. Upload it to your web site and add a link to it from your homepage or other page on the site. Optionally, add the following tag to the <head>. . .</head> section to make it easier for RSS-enabled browsers to find your RSS news feed: <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS" href="MySite.rss" >.
