RSS Feed Inquiry

Hello,

I’ve noticed some interesting markup in the default RSS feeds (ex. University of Connecticut Events). The closing link tag followed by a trailing https:// (see below…pulled from the first few lines of the linked RSS feed) is unusual/new to me. Could you explain this formatting/syntax?

Thank you!

Hey Janet, thanks for reporting this – that erroneously self-closing <link/> tag is a bug that I’ve seen before; I thought we’d quashed and fixed it in a recent release, but there must be some circumstance where it’s able to still manifest in the latest version of LWC. We’ll check this out and file it for a bug-fix.

Hi Janet,

Good news! We were able to incorporate a fix for this into our next release. In the meantime, as a thank-you for bringing it to our attention, I was able to go ahead and patch the fix to your live site so the RSS feed you mentioned no longer has the erroneous HTML in it, and the link tag is fixed.

Karl
