A follow-up: A while back, I had a separate thread on a related topic, but at the time I clearly misunderstood what was happening. The thread was here. I thought Newsblur was blocking/failing to load remote images.
Now, instead it appears to me that images that are contained in a <figure> element are being sanitized (deleted). This looks like it is a result of figure not being included in the allowed_tags set in the same util I linked before.
I am considering reaching out to the upstream library, but wanted to take the opportunity to get your feedback first, Samuel, to see if you agree I’ve correctly identified the issue here, or whether you’ve got any challenge. Thanks.
