Strict XHTML parsing ?

[snarkturne]

Some gitlab atom feed can't be parsed. i found that the problem is that gitlab feeds contain <br> tags, instead of <br /> tags. These tags come from double space end of lines in markdown. I think gitlab should translate this to <br /> and not <br> but... As a quick "fix", would it be possible for readrops (don't know which parser is used) to accept <br> tags ?

Here is an example of a rejected atom feed :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/">
<title>Test Atom Feed</title>
<link href="https://no" rel="self" type="application/atom+xml"/>
<link href="https://no" rel="alternate" type="text/html"/>
<id>TestFeed</id>

  <summary type="xhtml">
  <div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
  <p>Test<br></p>
  </div>
  </summary>
</entry>
</feed>

Yeah, that's annoying. Clearly a problem from Gitlab side. All kind of html in a xml tag should be escaped or included in a CDATA. The lib I use, Konsume-xml, is able to handle regular html in a xml tag, but no malformed content.

I'll see what I can do.
