Some words being left out of article content

version: 1.3.0, android

In this feed - https://phys.org/rss-feed I am seeing some words within an article not being shown. I can view the same article using the 'web browser' icon in feedflow and it shows that the missing words are wrapped in a hyperlink with a certain class. Here's an example.

It started with the latest version (about: shows 1.3.0) - it has the (great!) feature that renders feed list items that I have read in grey text instead of white text (on a black background)

The reader shows:

...particle winds irradiate the , gradually evaporating...

while the html source is

particle winds irradiate the
<a href="https://phys.org/tags/companion+star/" rel="tag" class="textTag">companion star</a>,
gradually evaporating

Items marked up without that class render normally, e.g.

<p>The <a href="https://arxiv.org/abs/2506.12272" target="_blank">study</a>, posted to the...

Not sure if the 'rel' attribute is part of the issue but I'm guessing the textTag and some CSS handling?

Thanks for the report! From version 1.3.0 I switched the parsing library which overall gives better results, apart from this 😅
