Bug 174455 – RDF feed lacks HTML formatting

• Product: Websites
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description Robert Mohr 2007-04-13 13:38:21 UTC]

The Gentoo News RDF feed doesn't have any HTML formatting, making it near impossible to read in RSS readers.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

neysx: Your field here. Is there an easy way to include the <a> and <p> tags into the RDF/RSS you are generating?

Not a docs-team issue and quite low on my list at the moment.

FYI, news items were never expected to contain any html. Long news items were expected to contain a <summary> that may only contain plain text. That <summary> is displayed on the main page and appears in the feed.

I'm not familiar enough with feeds. I guess I should just feed the same html that is output on www.g.o in an another news feed and wait for feedback.

Works fine in my RSS reader.

It seems to be back to lack the HTML formatting again. Did something get reverted  by accident?

No, you just need to read better :)


Besides, I just tweaked my own on http://gentoo.neysx.org/rdf/en/gentoo-news.rdf
It's almost the same as the test one previously mentioned. The only noticeable difference is it does not trigger a warning from feedvalidator.org even though it says both feeds are valid.

Try it again (in about an hour).
It looks OK in my browser and raggle (text-mode reader).
I expect feedvalidator.org will declare it valid without any warning, I'll check tomorrow.

I just replaced the current feed with the test version. Enjoy!
