Hi,
I have written an RSS builder template for my Rails app. Everything
works great, but now I want to put some HTML code into the RSS Item
description tag.
Any idea on how to do that? It seems that Builder automatically escapes
the string which messes up the HTML tags.
Anyone has an example which uses HTML inside their RSS?
Regards,
Chris

I am also very interested in how to do that.

IIRC the \<\< method on builder objects does not escape what you pass
it.
