I haven't had time to study it... but I think (?) it's a problem in that some feeds are UTF8 and some are not... and I didn't look into what it would take to handle each. :) Also, apparently, some feeds try to identify the type, some get it right, and some get it wrong... so even more of a problem. However, if anyone has some suggestions... I'll certainly make the changes. Just one of the many reasons why pmfeed is still "alpha". _______________________________________________ pmwiki-users mailing list [email protected] http://www.pmichaud.com/mailman/listinfo/pmwiki-users
