Bug Report: multiple authors

Post by Nown »

Hi everybody,

It appears that there is a bug when there are several authors in an RSS entry. If we have for example

Code: Select all

<author><name>A</name></author>
<author><name>B</name></author>
<author><name>C</name></author>
in the same <item>, then only one author is shown in Vienna. For example, the RSS feed of ArXiv.org to be found here:

http://export.arxiv.org/api/query?searc ... at:math.DS

I really hope that you can do something about this.

Thanks a lot,
Nown

That's actually quite a novel application. I ran your feed through an Atom feed validator, and but for some unrelated suggested changes, it is valid Atom code to have multiple authors on one "article" (which of maps in this specific domain usage to multiple authors of an ArVix paper).

I suggest you report this on the Vienna Github Issue tracker here: https://github.com/ViennaRSS/vienna-rss ... state=open

This allows better tracking and prioritisation by coders.
