  • It seems like the content being included in the feed needs to actually display the special characters instead of trying to use the HTML entities.

    To confirm this, I used the direct input method on https://validator.w3.org/feed/ with your feed’s source and replaced &Agrave ; with à as well as &#039 ; with ' (needed to add a space before the ; in this example which isn’t actually there since this comment wants to auto-convert it to the special character) in any/all occurrences (seems like a requirement for the entire XML file’s contents) and it showed the feed was then valid (which is certainly better than needing to remove those characters or trying to replace them with a similar character.)

    So, the fix is probably something to the effect of updating https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/simple-history/trunk/dropins/class-rss-dropin.php so that any content being output is wrapped in html_entity_decode to avoid this.

    While I’m not the developer, hopefully this (or similar) can be implemented in a future version release.

    Also, it’d probably be good to swap out your feed’s secret key so this isn’t kept public, I’d assume.
