Fix: escape XML-unsafe characters in RSS feed#28
Merged
Conversation
The RSS feed interpolates author names directly into XML without escaping. An author name containing < > & or other XML metacharacters produces malformed XML that breaks RSS readers. Also encode slug in URLs with encodeURIComponent for safety. Add an escapeXml helper and apply it to the author field; use encodeURIComponent for slug in link/guid URLs.
