remote posting, stripped tags

[Andrea_R]

kinda beating my head and I don't want to patch unless I know it's gonna fix it.

Scenario: user of a client is posting to blog via iphone and now via desktop client. Tags, like image tag, get *mangled* all to heck.

Sample post:

pI am playing with a new service that I have discovered on the WWW.nbsp; I have used Word and other blogging preparation platforms ndash; but this is something that I think I am going to like.nbsp; /p
pIf you are an active blogger ndash; then you know the frustration when you are typing away and finding new connections with relation to your mind and the written word.nbsp; Some really brilliant stuff oozes out sometimes.nbsp; But when you are ready to upload a picture or enable the spell checking ndash; then something happens where you cannot save the post nor can you save anything you have written./p
pThat is probably the worst thing in the world ndash; I have written hundreds of blog posts ndash; and I think it would probably be in the thousands if I had been able to send everything that I had written./p
pBut even going to the plate knowing what might happen, I still fail to save information or cut and paste the text before moving on./p
pThis might just fix that issue./p

nice, eh? Any ideas on where to start looking? TBH, I'm kinda crazy busy and don't have time to sift thru code if someone out there can point me in the right direction.

Anyone?

STrange.  First I saw of this post.

And I'm running to the bus.  I'll look at it tomorrow.

What method are they using to post via iphone?  Like are they using an application or just safari?

I found it. There is a xml parsing bug in libxml 2.7.X.

[drmike]

OK, I'll ask.

How is libxml coming into play?  I didn't think that was in wp. (Or is it?)

edit: Never mind.  I found it:

Yup, read it.

"Have you read the comment up above?"

Sounds familiar.
