HTML in RSS TITLE nodes

  • Article

Man, I subscribed to Reiter's Wireless Data Web Log in my aggregator and I see escaped HTML in the ITEM / TITLE nodes. The 2.0 spec doesn't specifically say text only in TITLE nodes as far as I can tell, but this is a deal breaker for me. I look at HTML all day long. I don't want to read through it at home. Unsubscribed.

    What reader are you using? SharpReader seems to actually parse out the HTML and handle that feed nicely, so you don't have to look at HTML.

    I wouldn't claim this to be a bug in the aggregator, but more of a spec defect (unless of course I am wrong and the spec does say text only in these nodes). Feel free send a pointer to where text-only is spec'd.

    Thanks,
