Issue with RSS Feed Generation in Hugo v0.111.2 and v0.138.0

Guess @davidsneighbour is right with his guess regarding summary.

If you use the embedded RSS template there’s been an issue with escaping

I found an issue with HTML escaping solved with v0.121.0

Problem with RSS - XMLEscape

Hi. I’m running Hugo v0.120.4. I am trying to edit the rss.xml file to deploy full content in my rss feed. The first step I took was to create the rss.xml file in my _default folder and copy over the built-in RSS template from the zip/github. But when I deploy Hugo with that unedited rss.xml file, I’m getting the following errors (with the same choke point on line 67): ERROR render of "section" failed: Error: error building site: render: failed to render pages: render of "home" failed: exec…

The RSS templates are different:

embedded RSS template for v0.111.2

  <description>{{ .Summary | html }}</description>

embedded RSS template for v0.121.0

  <description>{{ .Summary | transform.XMLEscape | safeHTML }}</description>

In release v134.0 the behavior of the .Summary changed. (Summary comparision)[Content summaries | Hugo] but – at least regarding summary – nothing has changed in the templates.

embedded RSS template for v0.138.0

  <description>{{ .Summary | transform.XMLEscape | safeHTML }}</description>
