<p>The default rails XML builder escapes all HTML, so something like:</p>

<pre class="lang-ruby prettyprint-override"><code>atom_feed do |feed|  
  @stories.each do |story|  
    feed.entry story do |entry|   
      entry.title story.title
      entry.content "&lt;b&gt;foo&lt;/b&gt;"
    end  
  end  
end
</code></pre>

<p>will produce the text:</p>

<pre class="lang-html prettyprint-override"><code>&lt;b&gt;foo&lt;/b&gt;
</code></pre>

<p>instead of: <strong>foo</strong></p>

<p>Is there any way to instruct the XML builder to not escape the XML?</p>

turns out you need to do
```
```
entry.content "<b>foo</b>", :type => "html"
```
```
althought wrapping it in a CDATA stops it working.
