Description Ben Aceler 2008-08-10 20:44:41 UTC 
Version:           1.2.50 (using 4.1.1 (KDE 4.1.0 (4.1 >= 20080722)) "release 26.3", KDE:KDE4:Factory:Desktop / openSUSE_11.0)
Compiler:          gcc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.25.11-0.1-pae

If a RSS feed contains entity-encoded HTML without CDATA tag, these entries decodes into respectively special symbols, but not HTML. For example, <description>&lt;b&gt;this is bold&lt;/b&gt;</description> should result a bold text, but akregator show this string as <b>this is bold</b>.

Example of the RSS feed: http://www.linux.org.ru/section-rss.jsp?section=1
