CDB Entry: Tinkering Again With Feed2JS - Help With Char Sets?

For those the care to feed, I have been doing more minor tweaks to Feed2JS, and inside you will find I use the very same to display the latest updates to that site, since it now has its own feed....

Wow, that was some reading on Unicode, great resource!

The Magpie Blog had some relevant items on this, and it is an issue of PHP default character encoding and the MLX parser.

The new version of Magpie (0.7) supports a script wide output character encoding, and I just updated our site to use UTF-8. The new Magpie code also has a great new unix timestamp from various published date items-- see the latest Feed2JS news:

Hey Alan, thanks for working this feature into feed2js! But let me reiterate my length extension request... Instead of 150, I'd love to have the same 255-character limit as del.icio.us to ensure that my extended entries are never cut.

Forgot to mention it was done, Seb. It may have been a cached feed if you did not see the 255 characters, or there is some limit as to what the browser displays.

Ah! Firefox cuts it off after 80 chars or so . :(
