Description

If the "Feed Length" is supposed to be the maximum number of content characters that the feed dumps to the RSS feed, then it is not working correctly. I had to set it to 132 and it dumped a description that was more than 900 characters.

Even when I stripped out all HTML it was still nowhere close to 132 characters.

On a hunch, I dropped the HTML into LibreOffice and did a word count which got much closer but still not the same.

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with Feed Length set to 132 and inspect the generated RSS description, including output with HTML removed. Compare the resulting content length with the configured limit; done means the feed output consistently respects the intended maximum character count.
