RSS feed characters not properly encoded?

[borkdude]

I believe the RSS your blog is slightly broken - apostrofs and other special characters appear to be double parsed or some similar error. When reading in my RSS reader (sadly that is [feedly.com](http://feedly.com/) and not some open-source thing) the beginning of your last post reads "Recently I&aposve been excited" and continues like this through the whole piece. It looks ok on the site, but not in the RSS.
Not sure how many people still use RSS, but it sure seems like an annoying bug for the few remaining.

Oh, ok, I didn't know your blog runs on an opensource blog engine. My bad, sorry for sending the issue over email.
But it does not seem to be a general issue with quickblog. For example in https://jmglov.net/blog/2025-01-02-running-round-malaren.html the apostrophes look good, at least in my feedly.com RSS reader.

Aha! So maybe it's an encoding or configuration issue of my webserver then!

[borkdude]

Neh, locally I'm getting:

<content type="html"><![CDATA[<div><p>In this post I&apos;

But this looks correct in the sense that it's valid HTML like that?

When I watch this feed through an online feed reader I do see the normal apostrophe again:

This might actually be an issue with Planet Clojure or somewhere between quickblog and planet clojure. I did not notice I read your article first in the plane clojure feed, not directly. Also this explains why jmglov article seemed ok.

I do have a separate planetclojure feed as well, but it's basically just the same filtered on clojure tags from the blog posts:

May be worth filing an issue with them perhaps

I just checked that other blogs have the same problem when read through planet clojure. Sorry for bothering you, obviously this is not an issue in quickblog. You can close this.

(Unfortunatelly planet clojure does not accept issues, only pull requests. Not wanting to sound lazy, but i am not ready for this deep dive right now.)

I've also seen this on Planet Clojure. I think you can close this issue, @borkdude.
