Invalid RSS feed for timeline

[mrenzmann@…]

I noticed that the following ticket broke RSS feed validation: ​http://madwifi.org/ticket/96

Feedvalidator.org reported the following problems:

line 176, column 18: Undefined title element: em

    <title>Ticket <em title="ath/if_ath.c: Incorrect use of dev-&gt;name
                  ^
line 177, column 118: XML parsing error: <unknown>:177:118: mismatched tag

                                             ^

The offending item:

   <item>
    <title>Ticket <em title="ath/if_ath.c: Incorrect use of dev-&gt;name

hal; regdomain likely 96 country code 62">#96 (defect) created by Henrique de Moraes Holschuh &lt;hmh@debian.org&gt;</title>

   </item>

First guess from IRC:

<cmlenz> otaku42: I think that's an error in how the timeline RSS feed removes HTML tags :-/

plain text version of the RSS feed that was tested by feedvalidator.org

The ticket summary causes this is

“ath/if_ath.c: Incorrect use of dev→name hal; regdomain likely 96 country code 62”.

I think the / and > characters are confusing the regexp that removes HTML tags for the RSS feed.

Actually, it's the newline in the ticket summary that's the offender here. Were these tickets imported from another source? Normally the summaries wouldn't have any newlines since they're entered in a single line input box.

This should be fixed in trunk since [2685]. I'll mark this ticket as closed once we've merged those changes intro 0.9-stable.

Fixed in 0.9-stable in [2724].
