is how to convert it in all my data to show properly? In all the
feedparser examples it just smoothly has the output correct
Why not str.replace()?
mystring = mystring.replace('>', '>')
(like in one
the data was <span>whatever</span> and it had the special characters
just fine.) I didn't notice any special call on their feedparser.parse()
and I can't seem to find anything in the feedparser documentation that
addresses this. Has anyone run into this before? Thanks!
