This should work.
The only issue I see could be with the way the feed is parsed. IOW, if you are entering the data into a DB, and when the record for the body is retrieved, it is wrapped in a
, or if the entry is treated before being uploaded to the DB.
If that is the case, then it might not work.
Example,
The feed I created for my work when an entry is made, it is parsed by a program the encodes all the characters for HTML, that way no one can enter code that would run on our server.
So gets encoded to be:
<A href="http://your/page">
That prevents anyone from running code, but it also stops me from embedding links.
I hope this is helpful.
