HTML is not rendering correctly in Reddit feed list

Great work with this project, guys. Hope this is the right place to record issues.
It appears that in a recent update to the Reddit .rss feed provider (e.g. http://reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/.rss) the HTML is now being escaped. It may be that TheOlderReader may need to apply some extra logic to detect and overcome this so that the feed article content is displayed correctly.
Instead of proper links and so on the following is seen which gives a poor user experience:
<!-- SC_OFF --><div class="md"><p>Interviewer: "what was the price when you came in?"</p> <p>Craig: "when i first came in? uhh, there wasn't a price"</p> <ul> <li>Part 1: <a href="https://vimeo.com/149035662">https://vimeo.com/149035662</a></li> <li>Part 2: <a href="https://vimeo.com/149115042">https://vimeo.com/149115042</a></li> <li>Part 3: <a href="https://vimeo.com/149119154">https://vimeo.com/149119154</a></li> </ul> <p>Continued from <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3w87km/craig_steven_wright_coming_to_a_bitcoindoco_near/">https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/3w87km/craig_steven_wright_coming_to_a_bitcoindoco_near/</a></p> <p>To the bitcoin doco creators: can you please post the raw version without title slides. I would like to see his microexpressions after being asked the questions.</p> </div><!-- SC_ON --> submitted bymaizechips[link][3 comments]
