I have set up a view and everything works fine except when I add a "date" field it is wrapped in a which breaks the rss reader I am testing it on. Is there anyway to strip this from the output?

sorry this should say "it is wrapped in a <span>..."

Bump. A solution to this would reeeeeally help me out too.

Anyone?

Disclosure: I am not a developer.
My kludge to suppress this (for Date elements) is to go into the date.theme file and alter 

function theme_date_display_single($date, $timezone = NULL) {
  return '<span class="date-display-single">'. $date . $timezone .'</span>';
}

to be: 

function theme_date_display_single($date, $timezone = NULL) {
  return $date . $timezone;
}

Inelegant, but it works so far.

Select "Strip HTML tags" in the options for the field in the view. It worked for me.

As mentioned by nfd, check "Strip HTML tags".

Also, please read the first draft of module documentation for what it can and can't do (and how).

Feel free to re-open this issue if needed.
