Description Tim Penhey 2011-01-22 17:49:04 UTC

Version:           1.0.1 (using KDE 4.5.5) 
OS:                Linux

A link I had on a blog post had the text "<span>" contained in it.  The angle brackets were not escaped to "&lt;" and "&gt;" and when trying to submit the post to blogger it got an unknown response code.

I copied the HTML text to the blogger editor itself and tried to submit and it told me that an anchor tag failed validation.  I went back to blogilo and edited the tag title to use the escaped values and it submitted fine.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create an anchor tag and put some '<' and '>' tags in the title attribute and try to submit to blogger.

Actual Results:  
Unknown error displayed

Expected Results:  
Automatic escaping of the '<' characters.

OS: Linux (x86_64) release 2.6.35-24-generic
Compiler: cc
