feed

I’ve been bothered recently (only slightly) that my RSS feed doesn’t honour the formatting I’ve set for my custom fields in ExpressionEngine.

Although I output a custom field that is formatted with Textile, it gets output as one globulous mass of text in most feed readers. As I say, no really big deal, but…

I found out today that I simply needed to change

<description>
{exp:xml_encode}{journal-summary}{/exp:xml_encode}
</description>

to

<description>
<![CDATA[{journal-summary}]]>
</description>

in my RSS template. Now my paragraphs, links and images display as intended in RSS feeds.

Hope someone else finds that useful.
