html in news 1.43 blocks?

I'm got news 1.43 installed and I'm adding news articles - eg with text, bold titles etc so it's readable.

However I've also got a 'recent news' block linking to the articles on my main page showing the first 100-200 words of each article.

The trouble is that the recent news block does not seem to interpret html for some reason and so my news headlines are something like:

Recent News - Endorphin 2.5 Released

endorphin 2.5 out now! New price: $9,495.


NaturalMotion Ltd ...

Which clearly is a mess!

How can I either get it to use html in blocks or just to display the text?

Try using tables in the news module...
The newsmodule is known for having problems with HTML, haven't sen a solution yet though.

I'm sorry should have been more clear...
The newsmodule is having problems with HTML. I wanted to use tables in the newsmodule but that got screwed up. So what I wanted to say: try using tables if you want to see how this news module screwes up HTML.

heh! oh I see! Well that's a pain in the arse! Oh well - does anyone know if news is a module that's actively updated? I'm pondering moving to article or smartsection or something like that instead?

Any advice/recommendations?

Basically I'd like something as close to the way http://www.bbc.co.uk presents news articles...

solution found..


edit file modules/news/blocks/news_top.php

search string "teaser"

replase the TWO line:
$news['teaser'] = xoops_substr(strip_tags($story->hometext()), 0, $options[3]+3);

to
$news['teaser'] = xoops_substr($story->hometext(), 0, $options[3]+3);

or
$news['teaser'] = $story->hometext();

all works fine!!
