Thomas Parisot	Friday 03 June 2011 2:20:12 am Hello everybody, I export blog posts as RSS feed with eZ Publish and it works great. However I encounter a subtle problem: I assed an XML Text attribute to the item description and eZ outputs it as encoded entities. Wouldn't it better to wrap the description with CDATA + plain HTML? Or is there a way to make this working this way? Thanks a lot :)

This might be a bug? http://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_cdata.asp Check out the bugs that have to do with RSS: http://issues.ez.no/IssueList.php?Search=rss&SearchIn=3 Hope this helps!

You can figure it out at: http://bordeaux-winetour.fr/rss/feed/blog I'd like to have items descriptions as CDATA + plain HTML (rather than entity encoded) to ease the feed importing in other systems (like planet). I would prefer to use the bundled feed rather than doing my own templates/module to achieve that simple goal. Thanks for your help :)
Thomas Parisot	Wednesday 08 June 2011 4:10:38 am I've found what caused trouble: it's related the way the feed is built. By assigning HTML to a DomNode->nodeValue, it's entity encoded to fit in a string. The only way I found was to create a documentFragment, assign the HTML with the asXML method and append the fragment to the DomNode. No clean way to do that either ;-(
