Angled brackets were being stripped with Ecto and Drupal 6

Following the upgrade to Drupal 6, I noticed an awkward error when publishing content from my desktop editor (Ecto 3). From what I've read, it will affect any editor that uploads content via the blog api integrated in Drupal 6.

How to resolve:

It looks like it's down to the version of libxml2 and php involved. You can either:

  1. Upgrade php & libxml2 if you have access to the server or
  2. Patch the xmlrpc.inc file in the includes folder of your Drupal 6 installation.

I went with option 2 and it's not as scary as it sounds.
