[BUG] Vienna displays escaped HTML entities
Posted: Tue Nov 06, 2012 9:10 pm
Vienna: 3.0b.2819
OSX: 10.8.2
Description: The panel that shows the contents of the current (selected) article displays escaped HTML entities.
URL: http://rss.lists.apple.com/cocoa-dev.rss
Settings: Style=Default, Load Full HTML Articles=OFF
Hello,
Thank you for Vienna. I’m using it to browse Apple’s developer lists such as cocoa-dev.
The <description> elements from the RSS feed appear to be badly escaped. (I don’t know if this is normal or not.)
Vienna, appears not to fully unescape these.
For example, this item:
appears so:
As you can see the "I’ll" is displayed as "I’ll" instead of "I’ll" (as it is supposed to be).
I believe that "’" is UTF-8 ("\xE5\x80\x99" = U+201A = "’") misinterpreted as IS0-8859-1 & HTML escaped.
[I suppose, really, that the bug is Apple’s. Perhaps, if Vienna was an iPhad app you might persuade them to fix it
.]
PS You may also like to consider adding ‘pre { white-space: pre-wrap; }’ to the Vienna stylesheet.css files as this also improves the display of long lines.

I’ll have a look. It is actually displaying maps *over* a ..., isn’t it?
Cheers and thanks!
