Problem with html-codes eg. eacute

rular commented 5 years ago

Hey,

is this a bug or is it by design?

when I open my rssfeed, I get an error "undefined entity at row xxx column xx" and at this position is an "é" (haha, it's just showing an é but I mean an "& eacute ;"

did you encountered the same?

do you have an example feed where this happens?

Thanks.

It looks like html entities (like é) aren't available in xml except for these 4: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_XML_and_HTML_character_entity_references#Predefined_entities_in_XML

It results in an invalid xml file and rsspreview can't do anything with it because the parser fails.

You can replace é with é for the same result but that produces a valid xml file.

You can get the numerical codes here for example: https://www.w3schools.com/charsets/ref_html_entities_e.asp

Yeah, tried that. But then, itunes won‘t be able to read this. Bcs another feed is released via itunes/apple - I had to turn all these special characters to normal ones.

Fkn apple shit
