I’m using Zapier to automatically post new topics on a Facebook page and I noticed that for last few days, the feeds (i.e. /latest.rss) aren’t posted anymore. The error that Zapier throws me is this: The last error message was "mismatched tag: line 546, column 2". What’s on line 546? This: 542| 543|  546| So I assume things are not playing as nice as they should. Can we get a stripped down version of the RSS feed? Thanks!

Will be fixed soon :strawberry: https://github.com/discourse/onebox/commit/a4708d78382a206f5ff9d39cf5cb76b812d7fbb0

Hmm, can you check into the RSS feed issue on meta @techapj and see if it repros? maybe use a feed validator on a few different pages to make sure everything is OK on latest.

I checked RSS feed for meta’s latest page and different category pages and they all are valid. (validated via http://www.feedvalidator.org/)

Sounds like this is specific to some post on your site then, @iamntz

Any ideas on how i could debug this? http://www.feedvalidator.org/check.cgi?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdevforum.ro%2Flatest.rss

Alright, but what can I do about this? There is anything in the admin area that I didn’t saw? It’s a bug? Thanks!

[תמונה] Mittineague: The validator / parser doesn’t do nested CDATA well. Is nested CDATA valid? Perhaps it’s a validator bug. [תמונה] iamntz: Alright, but what can I do about this? I can think of a few things: Don’t use nested CDATA. Determine whether nested CDATA is valid, and if it is, report it as a problem to the validator.

Post with CDATA block produces invalid RSS feed?
