For example, if you're feed contains a less than symbol (<) in the description which has been coded to actually read as < in the source, it displays the < instead of the < symbol? Is there a way of fixing this in the parser? Or does anybody have a way of turning this off in WordPress? So far, no luck in finding an answer myself.

Can you output the story title and description without the HTML formatting? Comments HTML + iOS in RSS Reader = no good. Can you output the story title and description without the HTML formatting?

It seems as though it's actually because of the CDATA[ expression being inserted into the description, which of course forces most parsers/readers to read things as-is. Still searching around. One day I'll find it. Comments So far, I've not been able to figure a way to do it.
