Accent problem doesnt affect RSS

June 13th, 2002

It seems the accent problem doesn’t affect RSS or the aggregator – the problem is that IE and Mozilla both choke on accented characters in the description element when trying to render the XML in the browser, even if I replace them with their equivalent html entities.

One comment to “Accent problem doesnt affect RSS”

  1. Have you tried modifying the XML feed so that it includes encoding information? For example:

    <?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”iso-8859-1″ ?>

    instead of

    <?xml version=”1.0″?>
