What character?

the quotation-mark charater, which is legal everywhere in XHTML except
inside an attribute.

it seems reasonable to me that, if the HTML in question contains "&"
then the corresponding title component of the feed should contain
"&amp;". Why is that not the case?

It is the case, and that's exactly what the script does.  The feed
validator just warns you about it, that's all, it's perfectly valid.

But it's not a requirement of hAtom, is it?

Certainly not, it was more of a shortsightedness on my part.

Thank you again.

Thanks, but one of your other fixes seems to have resolved that ;-)

good


One other clarification to those asking, this code is in no way built
on XSLT (a technology with which I am only vaguly farmiliar) and works
in pure PHP.  Thus it does not currently really even see what tags are
inside entry-content (it just escapes them to text), but I will code
around this and get the resolution working :)
