Rails - Mar 2006 - RSS <description> problem

I recently built an RSS feed in Ruby, and it seemed to work fine.  Now, 
when I generate my xml file, I''m getting an error because of an invalid
character.  The character is a simple apostrophe on the word >>
I''m <<

Is there something that I should be doing for this?  Like, specify a 
certain encoding, or inside of my <description></description> tags,
put
something like this:

<description>h(post.entry)</description>

What exactly does the h() function do?  Does it escape characters?

Hopefully you can see my problem.  Thanks.

h() is an alias for html_escape().
