I just posted what could be a dupe of this in 6179.  The problem (at least when I see it) is in Feed Titles in the Feed list and Article Titles in the article list.

Could you only strip() before converting the entities. After the entities are converted, leave tailing white space as is. or exclude &#xA0; from being stripped.

OK, it seems not be the problem with &#nn;.

I use & #A0; in front of a title to indent. But the spaces are stripped before being displayed. If the & #A0; is used inside a string, it will be preserved. Using & nbsp; will not got the space stripped. (Both in the title view and the gtkhtml2 pane)

Maybe it is a python thing? python strips all kind of whitespace include non-breaking space?

That's weird. I use &#8212; routinely and it works just fine. It also seems to as &#x2014;. Neither have I any trouble with &#xA0;. Regardless of whether or not the feed is valid RSS.

I did just change the code that deals with what's displayed in the item list view, but I don't think I've changed the HTML reading/rendering code in ages.

How do you see the character code entities? Do they disappear, are they rendered as a string, or what?

Could you test with the CVS version, or with the upcoming 0.18?

&#nnn; and &nxHH; are used in xml to represent
unicode characters. Straw (or gtkhtml2) does not
understand them. Straw should translate the entities
to legal html characters.

to use none break space in a feed, I currently have
to use & nbsp ; instead of &#xA0; .
