Keep HTML in RSS feed?

What version of WordPress are you running? In the current version (2.0.5), this is what those lines in wp-rss2.php look like:

<?php if ( strlen( $post->post_content ) > 0 ) : ?>
<content:encoded><![CDATA[<?php the_content('', 0, '') ?>]]></content:encoded>

There’s no need of the_content_rss() here; having the post content display (through use of the_content()) inside the CDATA section protects it from XML parsers. So if you made the modification, there was no need to do so.

You’re right – it does work with content:encoded. I have a bit of an issue using it because I’m pulling in the rss elsewhere using PHP 5’s SimpleXML and the “:” in content:encoded is messing up the syntax.

echo $item->content:encoded;

Hmmm…

Figured it out! For those interested:

$rss = simplexml_load_file($url);
$content = $rss->channel->item->children( "https://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/" );
foreach ($rss->channel->item as $item) {
echo $content->encoded;
}

This is close to what I’m looking for, but where do I put that snippit?

I’m more confused than I need to be right now…I’m sure.
