I tried tackling this problem about 6 months ago, but after going
almost completely insane I gave up, since my news feed seemed to
display just fine anyways. However, in an effort to have my feeds in
complete compliance, I am trying to deal with the problem again.
When I try to validate my feeds I get the following error:
Line 17, column 0: Invalid HTML: unknown declaration: u'BR', at line
5, column 124 (277 occurrences) [help]
<BR>" ;<a target="_b lank" href="http ://
forumserve ...
So it's the "<BR> " that's causing the problem.
I went through the help and tried what it recommends, using & to
escape the code (like so: &lt;BR& gt;), but then not only do I
still get this error, but none of my actual web pages that display
this same content work anymore either.
Are there any experts out there that have run into this before?

Can you post the URL to a minimal but complete feed that shows the
problem and also post the URL of the feed validator you use?

It's just a commented out <BR>, ie <!BR>, so that it doesn't actually
render.
Oh dear god, please tell me that's not what's causing this problem.

WOW!! After all the time I put into this, and all the fixes/
workarounds I tried, that WAS the problem!! Unbelievable.
It's amazing how a simple question can make you start thinking on a
totally different path.
Thank you so much Martin!

Is that proper SGML/HTML comment syntax in your view, or just some
syntax you made up?
Try whether removing that part makes the validator happy, to me it looks
like the most probably cause of that warning.

I'm not sure if it's proper syntax, but it's worked for years so I've
always done it for testing purposes (ie. if I want to see how
something works without an HTML tag but I don't want to have to
actually take it out and then put it back in after the test). I've
used this for as long as I can remember and have never had a problem
before, but I guess now that it's being processed through XML (my
first attempt at XML/news feeds), it does in fact cause issues.
I removed those from the RSS generation code, changed the limit from 5
posts to ALL posts for that feed, and now absolutely everything
validates. I can't believe that's what the problem was... I feel like
such a moron :P

FWIW I've often commented out HTML tags using something like <xBR>.
The x obviously turns it into an unknown tag which is ignored.
The full commenting out would naturally require something like: <!--
BR-->

I've a client who, I think, writes his essays in Microsoft Word on a
Macintosh, then copies and pastes it to a form to upload it to his
weblog. The weblog then creates an RSS feed. The weblog and RSS feed
are created using a simple PHP script I wrote.
His RSS feed is not validating, apparently because of the Word "smart
quotes". This is a guess on my part. I need to find out for sure what
character is causing the rss failure. How do I do...

Hi,
I am trying to position 2 columns of links so that the first is at the
left of the page and the second is at the right. The lines in each
column should be left-justified.
I have managed to achieve this by using 'nowrap' for each links column
and adding a middle column with 'width=100%'. However, this seems a bit
fragile as it is dependent on the resolving the layout conflict. If the
percentage width attribute has a lower weight...
