link field parsing error

Hi!
First and foremost, thanks for your work!
Ask another question.

https://www.historyinmemes.com/feed

This feed link actually has body content, but the feed extractor only displays a thumbnail text. How can this format be displayed in its entirety? Can you help me?

@0x1017 you can use parserOptions parameter to customize the output.

For example, if you turn off normalization, you can get the raw result, with full description:

  const feed = await extract('https://www.historyinmemes.com/feed', {
    normalization: false,
  })
  console.log(feed)

If you still want to normalize feed data, let's use getExtraEntryFields to modify only description as below:

  const feed = await extract(url, {
    getExtraEntryFields: (feedEntry) => {
      const { description } = feedEntry
      // you can do anything with the description here
      return {
        description,
      }
    },
  })
  console.log(feed)

Even though I turned off normalization, the parsing of links still changed.

After some research, I found that the problem is in the fast-xml-parser. Maybe the previous xml didn't support the & character, so this problem wasn't considered?
Anyway, if anyone else encounters this problem in the future, they can refer to this code.

await extract(url, {
    normalization: false, xmlParserOptions: {
        tagValueProcessor: (tagName, tagValue) => {
            if (tagName === 'link') return tagValue.replace(/&/g, '&')
            return tagValue
        }
    }
})
