  • In the RSS2 feed in this release em- and en-dashes don’t seem to be processed, apostrophes get a backslash in front of them…
    Why the change in formatting? This stuff worked nicely in the old version, but now looks ugly in my news reader (NetNewsWire for OS X).

  • Verified. Alpha 14 puts the em & en dashs into the RSS, in the 28/4 Beta, they come through as ‘—‘ & ‘–‘. The don’t garbage my reader (SharpReader) but it’s annoying to loose the typography.

    If I set the option to show the full text of articles in syndication feeds, the problem goes away. So it looks like its only a problem if summaries are being used.

    The typograph is not working even in full text mode 🙁

    You might just have to go to the manage-plugins option page, and enable the required text formatting plugins. That might be the solution.

    Which plugins would those be?
