How do you get rss feeds to validate?

rick · 02-13-2007, 04:18 AM

I'm using some affiliate and news feeds but they won't validate because of &'s even with HTML 4.01 Trans.

If I change '&' to '&', the feed stops working. I tried redirect in .htaccess but this doesn't seem to work with feeds.

I can't find anyone discussing this problem on the Internet, but I know I'm not the only one having this problem.

Is their a solution for this?

I hope this tool will drive to the solution, but I am not sure

Actually, I'm talking about incoming feeds like Google news which are displayed on my pages and cause them to fail w3c validation. But thanks for the reply.
