 * problem with HTML encoding
 * On pages where I am using shortcodes I am having problems with the way that the
   HTML is being rendered.
 * [http://opca-shelter-network-alliance.com/rss-feed-test-page/](http://opca-shelter-network-alliance.com/rss-feed-test-page/)
 * It looks to me as though the HTML is being encoded twice. So that, say, an apostrophe
   is first converted to & #39; and then the resulting entity is encoded again to
   give & amp; #039;
 * (I have added spaces between the & and amp and #039 to prevent them from being
   reinterpreted as ‘ but in the HTML this would be an unbroken string of characters.)
 * I am using the excerpt_functions.php, and import_posts.php that were rewritten
   to handle facebook page.
