Troubleshooting RSS Channels

Escaped HTML markup in RSS displays

Problem: I am seeing html markup in my rss channels. I have set output escaping to "yes" in portal.properties, and restarted tomcat. No change. I did an ant scrub-tokens and redeployed and still see the same thing. Any ideas? How do I get the channel to render correctly?

Solution: if you're using the CGenericXSLT RSS channel you probably need to edit the stylesheets to include the attribute "disable-output-escaping" in your XSL.

Warning: there are potential XSS and other issues with disabling output escaping. Escaping output protects you from unscrupulous feed providers. Enabling escaping output is only recommended for "safe" feeds.
