Titles not escaped properly

Question

Titles not escaped properly

opened this issue 7 years ago · comments

Having a title (maybe also content, haven't checked that) containing a & sign will result in bad XML
I get the following error in the validator:

This feed does not validate.
line 117, column 13: XML parsing error: <unknown>:117:13: not well-formed (invalid token) [help]
<title>Q&A: Floriade and the EuPC22 in Almere?</title>

I guess the contents of XML tags don't get properly escaped for use in XML

Thanks for the detailed information. It's good to see this is still actively used. I'll look into committing a fix by this weekend.

Thanks for the quick response Josh! I noticed it is only this way with the automatically created rss.xml. It works fine if I create a page with the RSS component.

Sorry for the delay! I had a busy few weeks. It was a simple fix.
