Description Olivier Delaune 2010-07-13 08:52:50 UTC

Version:           1.6.2 (using KDE 4.4.3) 
OS:                Linux

I subscribe to scientific feeds like http://feeds.aps.org/rss/recent/prc.xml and some papers contain LaTeX expression. Problem exists on main view (with article summary) but not in article view (except for window title). I send screenshot to illustrate this point.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1/Subscribe to feed with LaTeX expression.
2/See article with LaTeX expression
3/Observe that some LaTex expression are not correctly displayed

You can see that LaTex expression ^{40} Ar are not interpreted as LaTex language.

You can see that in this view, LaTeX is correctly displayed into text. But not in the window title.

That's because the "^{40}" is normal text in the RDF. There is no special markup used to indicate that it is a LaTeX snippet, so Akregator doesn't know about it. That's how the website exports it to RDF, so we can't do anything about that.

Comment 4 Frank Osterfeld 2011-03-21 22:06:12 UTC

Limitation of the feed, not a bug.
