Description
I generated a podcast RSS feed using a module derived from `node-rss`. The feed works fine in general. But the text content I have within the content:encoded includes some html, especially url links wrapped in tag. And those are not being recognized by iTunes. Here is the xml for one item in my feed

It seems iTunes is rendering the content in `content:encoded` in their episode description. But the url links are not being recognized for some reason. I used
```
customElements: [
{
'content:encoded':
{
_cdata: 'some string including html tags'
}
}
]
```
for the `content:encoded` element. It looks correct to me. Not sure why the anchor tags are not being picked up by iTunes.
