Authors don't seem to be parsed correctly

[akeemphilbert]

Expected behavior

Rss feed with <author>[email protected]</author> or

<atom:author>
      <atom:name>John Doe</atom:name>
    </atom:author>

Doesn't get the authors parsed.

<itunes:author>John Doe</itunes:author> does work
Sample Feed

      <description>So I&amp;rsquo;ve always had a hate-hate relationship with Magento (there never was love). Ours was a convenient relationship; I needed something to run an online bookstore we wanted to start, and all the other solutions we looked at didn&amp;rsquo;t fit the bill. We wanted to accept payments in Trinidad and Tobago dollars, something you don&amp;rsquo;t get easier with hosted solutions. We also wanted something that had broad support and a variety of templates.</description>

That's because <author> is, according to spec, part of <item> and not of <channel>.

You're right thanks. Though for atom it is on the main (I tried it with the namespace as per the example I gave above and no dice)

@akeemphilbert: For mixing RSS and atom, you can try my branch at https://github.com/Necoro/gofeed/tree/fix_151 (cf. issue #151 / PR #153 ). That handles atom:author in RSS as well.

Cool yeah I saw this and wondered if it was going to get merged in. Thanks
