Escaped XML/HTML characters displaying improperly. #2

Closed JoshTheDerf closed 9 years ago

I'm not sure how hard this would be to fix, but many RSS feeds contain XML/HTML escaped codes, such as &, ",   etc. All of these are displayed raw in the feed reader, making it a bit painful to read for certain feeds.

Otherwise, excellent extension! A must for my desktop. :)

Thank you for your bug report. I didn`t know about this problem. Should you attach in comment some of RSS feeds where this escaped codes occured?

JoshTheDerf commented 9 years ago

Here you go, this happens with any GitHub activity feed. image

Thanks for replying so quickly!

I found simple JavaScript library, that contains function to decode HTML escape characters: http://www.strictly-software.com/htmlencode Be sure that in next version this bug will be fixed.
