RSS with space add additional blank output that brings to horizontal scroll

[50LUD4]

Describe the bug
Between 0.51.00 and 0.51.3, when RSS feed has been changed, the RSS add additional blank output that brings to horizontal scroll.

The post is about reading the RSS in an external RSS reader, not in the app itself

Version
0.51.3

How did you install?
Cloudron.io

To Reproduce
Add ChangeDetection.io generated RSS feed to an RSS reader. You can use other RSS reader with compact view and the RSS Reader don't show all the output.

Expected behavior
The generated RSS has to be with less space between (added) or (changed) and the text, so it can bee viewed in compact mode, not have to be scrolled. As in older versions.

Screenshots

You can see the red line above, it takes to much space, so the feed viewer go over the available space.

Part of the RSS output is interpreted in a box that has to be viewed with horizontal scroll.

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• Any RSS Reader you can use to reproduce

Thanks but i simply cannot understand the report, can you try to provide the original screenshot?

I cant do anything with a pixelised photo, I simply am unable to understand

The second image is completely confusing

The first picture - I cant understand what you're trying to say, are you saying the whitespace was added, or was it removed? it was always there because thats the layout of the content

Hi @dgtlmoon

Very sorry for pixelised screenshot.

Below you can find the RSS feed as appears before updates, possibly before 0.51.00 version.

As you can see, text was interpreted by RSS reader as normal text.

Now, RSS reader see text as an embedded block of code, and this bring to a horizontal floating. Also, flow of text it keeps on the same line and not follow the follow of the available space.

To reproduce issue, try to read the new generated feed with an RSS reader.

What changes in practice? To view the RSS feed text now you need to scroll horizontally because the text doesn't fill the entire available space.

I hope this is clearer now.

Thanks a lot

Hi @dgtlmoon did you try to reproduce issue? RSS feed is almost totally not usable at moment...

To reproduce you can simply add the RSS feed in your favourite reader and you will see differences.

I think that if you are focusing develop on RSS features, you should also keep care about output...

Ahh ok, so basicaly its just that the content used to wrap, but now it doesnt.

\However the whitespace at the start is the same right?

@dgtlmoon thanks for your feedback.

the whitespace at the start it seems to be the same.

I’m not a developer, but looking at the feed source, I noticed that in <description> fields the <pre> tag is used to enclose the text (along with several columns, tabs, and long URLs).

Could it be the <pre> tag that is causing this issue with horizontal "floating" and text not wrapping in RSS readers?

Maybe <p> or <div> or <br> could avoid this issue?

@50LUD4 thanks a bunch! yeah, this will be fixed in #3442

[dgtlmoon]

The current version wraps it perfectly
