The truncation breaks the html badly.   Real example from this site's RSS feed today:

Quote
                       
https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/shocked.gif" alt="Shocked" border="0" />

http://hocca.wmod.llnwd.net/a4502/e2/20141008161400_9692_990.wmv" target="_blank">https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs27.postimg.org%2Fjvou3ugsj%2Fzandreas.png]]>
                       

Notice that the final tag is truncated.  What isn't immediately obvious is that the image URL itself is truncated. 

The full image URL is:

https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs27.postimg.org%2Fjvou3ugsj%2Fzandreas.png&t=545&c=QfibD-q76XHMGA

NOT

https://ip.bitcointalk.org/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fs27.postimg.org%2Fjvou3ugsj%2Fzandreas.png

The latter URL gives a "image proxy invalid" image.

So in this instance we have:

1) unterminated html tag/attribute
