SID-00075: Blogroll not working in BlogAddOn Plugin

I've installed BlogPost and everything seems to work well, except for one rather critical problem... When I put in:

%INCLUDE{"BlogPost" section="simple" sortdirection="ascending" sort="created" limit="10"}%

It doesn't work. Instead, what I see in the HTML is:

<div class="blogPostAddOnOverview">
<div class="blogPostAddOnItem">
<h3><a name="span_class"></a> &lt;span class= </h3>

[ ... x 10 ... ]

</div> </div><!-- /patternTopic-->
<div class="twikiContentFooter"></div></div><!-- /patternContent-->...

This not only doesn't display the blog posts at all, but destroys the entire formatting of the page. What is going on here?

Discussion and Answer

(I fixed above question; using verbatim tag instead of literal tag.)

It looks like there is an issue with the SEARCH that produces the blog list. Look at the format="..." parameter. If anything in "..." returns a double quote it would terminate the output prematurely. The <span class= indicates that this is the case.

(Thanks for fixing my mucked-up formatting). I've discovered the source of the problem: a conflict with the EditChapterPlugin. When blog posts are included on another page, the title of the post should be a link to the post itself -- however the EditChapterPlugin modifies the title to add the edit button, and manages to destroy the whole post in the process (leaving "<span class=" as the only visible output).

I was able to resolve the conflict by editing the BlogPost topic and replacing a ---+++ with

<h3>...</h3>
