Well, shouldn't it? I'm not a RSS expert, but I thought you escape once for the XML, and the result should be valid HTML. Implying again &-escaping. Same for body of the text afaik. But, if you find out that the feed is actually wrong w.r.t. the specs, yeah, then you can close it. I don't have the RSS specs handy though, and eh, I'm a lazy bastard. So, I've said that :-/. Mostly I'm just really really not an expert at all, but I guess the feed, which is of the most popular internet news source in the Netherlands, surely has maken sure to actually work for like, eh, most RSS readers. It's a really big site. --Jeroen -- Jeroen van Wolffelaar [EMAIL PROTECTED] (also for Jabber & MSN; ICQ: 33944357) http://Jeroen.A-Eskwadraat.nl
