Some sites showing up with newlines before formatted text in the past few days.

question
1

Some time in the past ~2 weeks certain feeds (it seems blogspot.com.au started showing up with wonky formatting). Specifically italic/bold text was on a newline even if it was in the middle of paragraphs.

For example these two blogs:
https://www.newsblur.com/site/603110/…
https://www.newsblur.com/site/198459/…

However looking in the archived view for old posts they’re fine! It’s just when I read them first unread from:
https://www.newsblur.com/folder/every…

Confused

Have you turned on Text mode inadvertently for those feeds? They look OK to me otherwise.

This is a known issue. It has to do with a python library called lxml that refuses to allow me to crack it open and fix the issue. Not sure of a better way, but occasionally I go in and start cracking ribs in my text parsers.
