"SaveAs" saves a particular feed's raw XML.

"SaveAsRSS" saves a particular feed's XML in another XML format, but
    with parsing filters, etc., in play.

To have curn generate other kinds of output (e.g., HTML, text, whatever),
you need to define an output handler. Output handlers are intended to
generate human-readable output. They get all the parsed feed data at once,
and they use that parsed data to generate readable output for all the feeds
captured during the curn run.

See the User's Guide for details on output handlers. There are examples on
output handler usage in there.

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
