5 Ampersand in feed title causes syntax error - ID: 2797092
Last Update: Comment added ( bunk )

Liferea: 1.4.28

The following feed cannot be read:

http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/family-and-relationships/?service=rss

A syntax error occurs, which says:

XML Parser: Could not parse document:
Entity: line 4:
parser
error :
xmlParseEntityRef: no name
<title>Globe Life - Family & Relationships RSS feed</title>
^
XML error while reading feed! Feed
"http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/family-and-relationships/?service=rss"
could not be loaded!Could not determine the feed type.

A few feed on that site have a & in the title field, and that messes up the
Liferea parser

If you click in Liferea on "Parser Error Details" and then on "You may want
to validate the feed using FeedValidator" you will see that this feed is
not well-formed XML.

We neither can nor want to support feeds that are not valid XML.

Please ask the provider of these feeds to fix his feeds.
