RSS spec [1] doesn't say anything about special formatting under the description field, so standard XML escaping may be used to include HTML and what not. Only '<', '>' and '&' need to be escaped in XML (this is also displayed in a sample file [2]). Also, a CDATA section can be used: <description><![CDATA[<a href="example.com">example</a>]]></description> I'm using CDATA in a PmWiki driven blog, and it works fine with browsers (and I've just realised that I am not escaping ']]>' in the CDATA section, but I should [3] - oops).
