[BUG] - Upper case problems in title attributes in XML RSS feed

[racalle]

Hi,

I have detected that lower case are not respected in one of my episodes when copying title from markdown to XML.

The title in MD is:

title = "Desinformación en tiempos de pandemia"

The resulting attributes in XML are converted to

<title>Desinformación en Tiempos De Pandemia</title> or
<itunes:title>Desinformación en Tiempos De Pandemia</itunes:title>

Some specs:

go version is 1.15, and I am using 1.14.1 release as a hugo module. With prior version same behaviour happened.

In order to check online, the feed url is this one, the site is https://callejongallosciegos.rcalle.es/

Copy of MD:

This translates in wrong case sensitive in different places, example in itunes

Many thanks.

This is very odd! I don't see anything in the template for the feed that would manipulate the capitalization, but I'll check it out!

[mattstratton]

Ah, I was wrong, we use the title function built into hugo for this

https://gohugo.io/functions/title/#readout

I see that we do that on the individual episode pages too, but not on the row and grid layouts.

I need to figure out the best way to solve for this; for my own podcast I know I wanted the titles converted to title case, so if I remove this, it will break older implementations.

As I see it, maybe the way to do it is with two things:

1. Update the grid and row layouts to be in sync with episode pages and the feed
2. Add an optional config parameter to override this (like disable_title_capitalization) and if this is set, it will not update the capitalizations, but if it's not set, it just works as it did already.

title

Converts all characters in the provided string to title case.

@mattstratton I see this solution as a good way to solve this capitalization problem and not modify the look of title when upgrading.

Maybe "enable_title_capitalization" default to false would be more elegant, but it will break the behavior of older versions like you said.

Hello Matt, ¿what type of help can we provide?

As I can see you have the problem identified. Removing the "title()" calls when a config parameter "disable_feed_title_capitalization" is set to true will repair this bug (or similar approach).

Do you have paypal available? My site is working fine with castanet and I am grateful for it. Thanks!

Fixed in #370

[racalle]

Hello @mattstratton . Finally I published something and I could test. I don't know why but it is not working for the part of RSS XML which is the important for me.

I added the parameter in it's section of "config.toml" without sucess :-(

 #2022 evitar todos los replaces de los cases mal puestos
disable_title_caps="true"

¿Any idea why it is not working? Thx for your time.
