Using feed polling, when an article is retrieved, there is an encoding problem in its title if it contains special characters : `Article propos&#233; `. However, it works fine for the content.

Actually, `&#233` is transformed in a _“é”_ in the body of the post, but not in its title.

Is it possible to correct it?

@techapj can you add to your list to check and repro this? Low priority, but we should fix it if we can repro.

I am unable to repro this issue. Can you check if the setting `title fancy entities` is enabled on your instance?

Yes, it is.
