| Subject: | dummy content:encoded breaking description in some rss readers |
I believe the logic in XML::Feed::Entry::Format::RSS::summary() to add a dummy content:encoded field is causing the following problem in MetaCPAN's recent RSS feed:
https://github.com/metacpan/metacpan-web/issues/1954
The feed at https://metacpan.org/feed/recent includes a content:encoded tag
for every item. This confuses some feed readers which give this field a higher
priority than the description tag. So when the feed is displayed, it doesn't
display a description. Actually it probably is displaying it as a single
space, since that's what's in the tag. The similar feed at
http://search.cpan.org/uploads.rdf displays the description properly because
it doesn't include this tag.
