Weird RSS problem

[jyrik]

I'm having a trouble with the RSS feed. It's not working because of a description text of this page: http://www.luonnoskirja.net/index.php?showimage=8

I did notice that when I delete the description the RSS seems to work fine. With text and link it becomes a mess. Here's what I've typed in the admin panel as a description:

Arvatkaa [minne meni vuoden 2005 tasa-arvopalkinto](http://www.yle.fi/uutiset/haku.php?action=page&id=194914)? Tampereen evankelis-luterilaiselle seurakuntayhtymälle, tietenkin.

Here's the link to the RSS feed:

I got it fixed by using a html link tag instead of markdown. I wonder why it didn't work with the latter, though.

what markdown did you use and where?

[Connie]

this is interesting

did you check the RSS with
http://www.feedvalidator.org/ ?

this could be interesting to find out the error ;=)

Well, I re-created the problem for a while to see what feedvalidator.org would say. It gave me this:


Sorry

This feed does not validate.

*

line 84, column 68: XML parsing error: <unknown>:84:68: not well-formed (invalid token) [help]

&lt;br /&gt;[test](http://www.yle.fi/uutiset/haku.php?action=page&id=194914)...


And there was a red "^" under the last "=" mark of the link.

Um, I used the markdown to make a link, like "This is an [example link](http://example.com/)." I used it in an image description text.

Since this is my first blog and you dudes won't give any instructions in Finnish :p I'm not very familiar with terminology here so I'm not sure did I understand Joe[y]'s question about that one...

this is to do with the & in your link... try changing it to &amp;
