------------ In all RSS readers that I've tested (iGoogle,
Snarfer and FireFox) the line breaks in the description field of
the latest.rss feed are not parsed and displayed as linebreaks.
The standard is unclear on this subject, but I think that the
RSS feeds offered by PEAR should contain HTML line breaks to aid
the display of changelogs. This can for instance be done by
putting entity encoded br tags (<br/>) or non-entity encoded br
tags in a CDATA section.    [2007-08-11 20:39 UTC] dufuz (Helgi

site but somehow always forgot to fix it  [2007-08-25 15:18 UTC]
