Description
1. Environment
- Device: SM-A54B
- OS: Android 14
- APP: 0.10.1
2. Describe the bug
When a feed item's content is escaped via <![CDATA[, ReadYou does not parse it. Instead, it shows the CDATA string as-is.
i.e. when the feed contains this:
<content mode="escaped"><![CDATA[This is <b>example</b> content!]]></content>
it renders as
<![CDATA[This is <b>example</b> content!]]>
instead of
This is example content!

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with the XML example in the report, then trace how escaped feed content and CDATA are handled before rendering. Confirm the behavior with the provided Android feed case. Done means CDATA content is parsed as formatted item content rather than displayed as a literal CDATA string.
