HTML cannot parse RSS.

JavaScript could (in theory) parse RSS and output some HTML - but the
standard security model won't let you fetch data from a different domain.

If the RSS feed includes a link to an XSLT then you could have it render in
an <iframe>, but that introduces the usual problems of iframes, and the
limited browser support for XSLT.
