[ruby-core:59331] [ruby-trunk - Bug #9304] Invalid XML entity references

Issue #9304 has been updated by mame (Yusuke Endoh).


Don't mind, I found the repo of your blog: https://github.com/ploeh/ploeh.github.com

I could reproduce the issue successfully ... only when I open rss.xml with Chrome!
With Firefox, Konqueror, wget, and curl download it without "&tt;".

So I now guess this is a bug of Chrome's XML viewer.
Are you also using Chrome?  Can you reproduce the issue without Chrome?

It seems that the escapeHTML method occasionally generates the invalid XML entity reference (({&tt;})) when XML escaping.

See this Stack Overflow question for more details: http://stackoverflow.com/q/20563078/126014

Although I see this issue manifest itself in Jekyll, the Jekyll maintainers closed the issue I reported there because the Jekyll filter delegates to CGI.escapHTML.

Could it be a but in escapeHTML?

I'm seeing this on my own system, which is currently reporting:

$ ruby --version

ruby 2.0.0p247 (2013-06-27) [i386-mingw32]

but I'm also seeing this on GitHub pages, and I don't know the exact version of Ruby running in that environment.
