Special char not displayed correctly in Sharepoint RSS feed
Special char not displayed correctly in Sharepoint RSS feed
- Hi everybody, I've got this issue on my company's sharepoint portal:
RSS enabled document's library
One user has " ' " char in his last name
When this user upload a document to that library, in the RSS feed his last name has no " ' ", but there is a string: "&# 39; " (without the middle space)
This should be an UTF coding problem, right?
From the source of the RSS page:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> (first line)
And for every item published by the user I've got:
<author>Xxxxx Z&#39;Yyyyy</author> (where correct user name is: Xxxxx Z'Yyyyy)
Anyone knows how to fix this?
thanks,
Dario Palermo

- After much research, we have determined that it is not possible to change the character set within SharePoint of the RRS Feed from UTF-8 to something that does support the apostrophe. At this time, we will have to declare this as By Design. I apologize for the inconvenience.
