I have set up a few rss feeds and some are displaying unfriendly octal codes while displaying the same rss in Firefox shows apostrophes, quotes, linebreaks and dashes. The encodeing is set to utf-8, and I have tried redisplaying using other encoding by C-u W-q (e.g. windows-1252). I suspect this may have to do with smartquotes? Or is it dependent on the gnus-article-wash-function (currently nil and mm-text-html-renderer set to 'lynx')? Apostrophes, quotes and dashes are misrepresented by a sequence of characters, whereas linebreaks (i.e. between paragraphs) are represented by two codes. I also tried to view the source (C-u g) and wash html (W h) in an attempt to get wiser, alas to no avail! However, this led me to suspect maybe mm-text-html-renderer needs to be set to something else? For example I get | Firefox | Gnus | C-u g, W h | |-------------+----------------------------------+------------| | ' | \303\242\342\202\254\342\204\242 | =E2=80=99 | | " | \303\242\342\202\254\305\223 | =E2=80=9C | | - | \303\242\342\202\254\342\200\234 | =E2=80=93 | | (linebreak) | \303\302 | =C2=A0 | |-------------+----------------------------------+------------| Any advise on this would be greatly appreciated! Less important, but maybe related is that (embedded) links seem dead in the articles, could this also be related to the above, and how to remedy?
