Version: 1.2.9 (using KDE 3.5.9) Installed from: Fedora RPMs The following texts are improperly parsed when viewed in Akregator (not using the Konqueror view). Hopefully nothing in this text is parsed as HTML, or it won't make sense. <a href="http://particletree.com">Particletree</a> This becomes a link with the text: Particletree &lt;a href=&quot;http://particletree.com&qout;&gt;Particletree&lt;/a&gt; This becomes the text: <a href="http://particletree.com&qout>Particletree</a> <a href="http://particletree.com">Particletree</a> This becomes a link with the text: Particletree <a href="http://particletree.com">Particletree</a> This becomes a link with the text: Particletree <a href="<a href="http://particletree.com">http://particletree.com</a>">Particletree</a> This becomes a link with the text: http://particletree.com">Particletree (Note that this text is linked up to and excluding the " text. The expected behavior is for every line to be plain text HTML. The expected behavior is not for the HTML entities to be parsed as HTML.
Created attachment 25856 [details] A copy of the HTML of the mis-parsed post. I forgot to add the URL of the mis-parsed post. It is http://particletree.com/notebook/smarter-auto-linking/ I've attached a copy of the page in case it's deleted or edited in the future.
Created attachment 25857 [details] Akregator's rendering of the HTML. This screenshots shows how the text is being parsed in Akregator.
Created attachment 25858 [details] Opera's rendering of the HTML. Here is the proper rendering for the HTML. Although Opera was used for this screenshot, Konqueror shows the same. This shows how the HTML entitied text should appear (unparsed) in content.
Works as expected in Akregator for KDE4. Try the page you mentioned in konqueror, how is it rendered ?
Created attachment 25862 [details] View of page in Konqueror (within Akregator) The view in Konqueror matches Opera's view. This screenshot shows it in Konqueror within Akregator (maybe I have the naming wrong, is it more properly said as a Konqueror KPart within Akregator?) So, Konqueror is parsing the HTML entities properly as HTML entities, whereas somewhere along the line Akregator's own view of the content is decoding entities, replacing them with the characters they represent (i.e. replacing > with > and " with ") I'd check to see if this is already fixed in Akregator for KDE4, but I can't run that version due to some crashing bugs (which have already been reported here by others).
That should be fixed in KDE4 (reopen if you have counter-example).
