Parser functions do not work in RSS template
Open, HighPublic

Description

Reported in https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Extension_talk:RSS&offset=20120524012622&lqt_mustshow=15624#x.23sub_ParserFunction_doesn.27t_work_anymore_15114

I used this snippet to trim/strip long title segments in the RSSPost-Template:

{{#sub:{{{title}}}|0|60}}}}

But after updating from version 1.9 to 2.16 20120424 it doesn't work anymore. The parser function is not applied to the title. I already switched to the new template name etc. Therefore I can't use the latest version in my production environemnt, because the long title will destroy my layout respectively my main page.


Version: unspecified
Severity: normal
