Not a problem, just thought you might like to know. In the text of the classified RSS feed:

Instead of showing apostophes like this: don't
they appear like this: don't

or something similar...

Thanks. Converting between HTML and XML can be a bit of a headache!

Could you give me an example of a feed that's exhibiting this problem please?

The lotus Elise feed. For example, from this advert: www.pistonheads.com/sales/57391.htm

you can find apostrophes like this: don & apos ; t (without the spaces, if I leave them in, the browser converts it to don't)

Without wishing to interject, isn't that the way they're supposed to be?

It does validate in an RSS validator.

It means that it conforms to the RSS standards.

Sorry, you've lost me... Here's a screenshot of one of the Elise classifieds, from RSS Bandit 1.3
