[weblogger.el] Sending raw HTML to wordpress using weblogger.el

[weblogger.el] Sending raw HTML to wordpress using weblogger.el

[FFighter]

Hello group!

I've installed weblogger 1.2 and could set it up and post to my
wordpress blog. The issue, however, is that every HTML tag is escaped,
and I can't format any of my text. For example, when I do M-x
weblogger-start-entry, I get this in a buffer:

Subject: Test post
From: admin
Newsgroup: My blog
--text follows this line--

<strong>This should be bold</strong>

When I press C-c C-c to save it as a draft and go to wordpress to
check what is there, I see this in raw HTML mode:

&lt;strong&gt;This should be bold&lt;/strong&gt;

I have searched everywhere but couldn't find a way to set it up so
that these tags would not be escaped. Not sure when it happens -- if
it is emacs/weblogger's fault or wordpress' fault. I simply want to
post it as raw HTML, so that I have control over formatting from
emacs.

Any suggestions appreciated,

Thanks,

Marcelo.

I have the same problem with Aquamacs, but not with Carbon Emacs, but
I still have to figure out why it is happening. I'll let you know if
I'll find out.

I found the problem (but not the solution). With Emacs 22.3 this does
not happend, only with >23 (included 23.1). Probably it is a problem
where the developer should look into.

Thanks Giovanni. Hoping that the developer will eventually see this
post and correct this bug for emacs 23. Meanwhile, I can either send
from emacs 22 or go directly to the wordpress web interface. I might
try to solve it, but I have no idea where to star (well, my elisp
skills are still weak).

Regards,

Marcelo.
