Ampersand

I'm trying to load up a few RSS feeds that have ampersands in their
TITLE field.  Liferea 1.4.14 stops displaying them with an error.  I'm
not a programmer and couldn't figure out how to create (what I thought)
would be a simple script to simply convert the & to an 'and'.  How would
I write that script, or better yet, is there a way to force Liferea to
continue reading the RSS page?

Thanks!

First there is a documentation on how to apply scripts to feeds here:

   http://liferea.sourceforge.net/scraping.htm

But before doing this I'd suggest trying to validate the feeds in
question using http://feedvalidator.org and if an error is reported
I'd contact the feed author about the problem.

If no error is reported and Liferea refuses to read the feed please
send me an example URL.

Best Regards,
Lars
