How to Remove a Hard Return From an RSS Feed With Yahoo Pipes
Yahoo Pipes provides a powerful, graphical user interface for creating your own RSS feed from many types of data on the Internet. While Yahoo Pipes can combine data from multiple sources, it can also perform simple operations on a single RSS feed. You can use Yahoo Pipes to read an RSS feed, automatically remove any hard returns, and output the changed feed to a new RSS feed. Yahoo Pipes will automatically check the original RSS feed for updates and keep the modified feed up to date.
