Hi,

I'm having some issues with the forum RSS feed. If I write a forum post using our swedish national characters ÅÄÖ the post will come out like this:

(title = "test åäö", body = "test åäö")

<item>
<title>test &#229;&#228;&#246;</title>
<pubDate>2009-12-06T04:33:44Z</pubDate>
<author>host</author>
<link>
/DotNetNuke_dev/Forum/tabid/62/forumid/2/threadid/4/scope/posts/Default.aspx
</link>
<description>test åäö</description>
</item>

 

As You can see the same characters are displayed differently in the title (HTMLencoded) and in the description. I'm using the RSS news module on my front page to automatically show latest posts from the "news on the site" forum and it renders bad.

I guess maybe the RSS module HTMLencodes the already HTMLencoded string because &#229;comes out as &amp;#229;

Is this supposed to be like this for some compliance reason or Is it just an error in one of the RSS XML tags? :-) What can I do to work around?
I use the RSS module for feeds from other swedish sites and they work fine, as they are not HTMLencoded.

TIA
