Prefer "invalid" XML over a crash in the RSS feed. by BenLubar · Pull Request #192 · tdwtf/WtfWebApp

I don't know which article contains a U+0018 CANCEL and frankly finding out which one does contain it doesn't help me much. But that's why the feed hasn't updated recently.

It'll go back to working on its own as soon as that article leaves the "latest articles" list, and the pull request will stop this from happening.

@ben_lubar I would guess the first one that didn't appear in the RSS

It was in https://thedailywtf.com/articles/a-passion-for-testing and is on this line:
<p>"Ah, yes. Here is my test for `String.split`.[HERE].</p>

Easy to find: that was the article that stopped the feed working. Finding the location in the article… that's what we have regular expression support in our editors for.
