Invalid XML Chars in feed output

[Daniel Zoller]

The RSS Feeds we are offering are returning invalid XML Chars.

use XmlUtils#removeInvalidXmlChars to remove them

[Former user]

Would you state the issue more precisely, please?

Considering a publication

@article{invalidXML,
    title = {x > 5},
    author = {Alice & Bob},
    year = 2000
}

invalid XML characters will be escaped correctly by RSS feed output:

<title>x &gt; 5</title>
<content:encoded>&lt;span class=&#034;authorEditorList&#034;&gt;&lt;a href=&#034;/author/Bob&#034;&gt;Alice &amp;amp; Bob&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;  (&lt;em&gt;2000&lt;/em&gt;)</content:encoded>

(see http://www.biblicious.org/publrss/user/cut).

Also some invisible chars are forbidden (see http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#NT-Char). As mentioned XmlUtils#removeInvalidXmlChars should already remove these chars.

[Former user]

Indeed it should. However, it would have been nice to have an acknowledgment of success ;-)

[Former user]

should be done via latest commit to branch RSSRemoveInvalidXml.

[Daniel Zoller]

[Former user]
