Minor Fix for Atom HTML Display

February 01, 2006

Minor update to script to deal with situations where the Atom item description/content is delivered with HTML entities escaped (all HTML rendered like:
<img src="http://www.bigsite.com/cool/pix23545.jpg">
<a href="http://www.bigsite.com/">go</>
<br>
Which does not render with the HTML display option on. The code is updated on the main Maricopa site only as we plan to invoke a larger update that addresses the CSS class naming mentioned previously. This new fix is an easy edit for existing scripts. Around line 254, replace:
if ($item['content']['encoded']) {
	$my_blurb = $item['content']['encoded'];
with
if ($item['content']['encoded']) {
	$my_blurb = html_entity_decode ( $item['content']['encoded'], 
	     ENT_NOQUOTES);
This merely decodes the escaped HTML entities (except quotes, they should display as desired in escaped format).
