Sure, edit your digest, click on the link to manually edit your template and change the reference to DESCRIPTIONPLAIN to DESCRIPTION. That'll then allow HTML through :)

Hi,

I'm creating my own RSS feed to display on my website using feeddigest. I'm wondering if there is any way I can include html in my RSS item description. I've tried the following (using ascii characters and escaping the &), but I'm not getting it to display the tag info on my website. It would be great to be able to have the description display links and images, but links would be the best.

The output on my website is as follows:

This is a test to see if I can get this thing to work - lets hope for the best! Lets see if we can put a link in here click what about an image:

The word "click" is not a link and there is nothing displayed after "image:".

Thanks,
