rss.tpl, pulling data out of dcr w/o parsing

clewin

in my dct i capture description text for an rss feed that contains html. the dcr stores that value as encoded characters to make the dcr a valid xml file. rss needs those characters encoded as well. is there a way to pull the data from the dcr w/o it parsing that field value and converting those characters back into html so i dont have to use cdata tags or perl to re-encode the field value?

<rss version="2.0" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss">
...
<item>
....
<media:description type="html">{iw_value name="dcr.rss.items[0].description" /}</description>
</item>
</rss>

This is in a PT - right? Try something like this:

...
<iw_perl>
use HTML::Entities;
my $text_xml = encode_entities(iwpt_dcr_value('rss.items[0].description'));
</iw_perl>
<media:description type="html">{iw_value name='text_html' /}</description>
...

(should the end tag for a media:description also include the 'media:' domain?)
