(EDIT: Not a bug.)"},"content":{"rendered":"

I think I just uncovered a minor bug in Feedbin<\/a>‘s RSS parsing.<\/p>\n

Update: Not a bug! Feedbin support confirmed that they “aggressively” sanitize markup, for various reasons including security and ensuring that any CSS doesn’t break Feedbin’s rendering when viewed on the Feedbin site.<\/ins><\/p>\n

I used some inline CSS to flip an emoji upside-down in a recent blog post<\/a>, but it’s displaying right side up in Feedbin (and therefore in NetNewsWire<\/a>, so at first I thought it was a bug there, but if I let NNW read the RSS directly instead of pulling from Feedbin, it displays the inverted emoji properly).)<\/p>\n

I’ve confirmed that the inline CSS is present in the raw RSS feed (which makes sense, since it displays properly when loaded directly in NNW).<\/p>\n

But when I use Safari’s inspector to peek at the HTML that Feedbin is rendering, though the span<\/code> tag is there, the style<\/code> argument with the inline CSS has been stripped out.<\/p>\n

Is this a bug? Or is Feedbin intentionally stripping inline CSS style<\/code> declarations out for some reason? Update: Not a bug! See the added note at the beginning of this post.<\/ins><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
