I have a problem with using my new blog RSS feed. I wrote a post (the first one) with some code examples formatted by SyntaxHighlighter. To paste a code sample I'm switching from WYSIWYG to HTML view and put the code inside pre tag like this (don't worry, h4 tag was opened a line above the screenshot area):

The problem is that such pre tag, when later accessed via RSS feed contains br tags instead of new line characters. Below is screenshot of the adequate RSS source code:

What's most important when accessed via www, the post html is formatted fine, no brs inside pre. I verified that by downloading the blog post with wget. So I believe this isn't SyntaxHighlighter issue nor any 'new line' formatting on blog post save.

This is a real problem as I want aggregate my blog on employers blog and all formatting of code examples is broken because of that.

The base question is: how to get rid of those unwanted brs served via RSS?

What's strangest friend of mine also uses blogger for such aggregation and he has no such issue. I checked his RSS feed and there are no brs inside pre tags. We also compared settings of our blogs. However we have found no clue.

• The blog post
• RSS for the blog (just check source and search for string: pre class="brush)
• Mentioned friend's blog

Last thing: I see content served from RSS is now also html encoded. If I remember well, it wasn't previously.
