<p>The Vienna RSS reader appears to display the author's name correctly. (Tested with Vienna 3.1.4 on the arxiv.org cs updates feed).</p>

RSS feed reader compatible with arxiv
<p>Is there any RSS feed reader that is compatible with Arxiv rss feeds which have the annoyance of using html tags for authors? So I want a reader that does not display the author as <code>&lt;a href="http://arxiv.org/find/quant-ph/1.</code>.. but rather author's name, I do not really care about the link. I tried outlook, Rssowl, various plugins chrome extensions but either the extensions are clumsy or they cannot handle the html tags in author. I prefer a program, not some web site rss feed reader.</p>
