I am using SimplePie to feed blog entries to a non-Wordpress website. By default it strips out all HTML tags, but there is a way to keep them in, by inserting this code near the top of your page: 

$feed->strip_htmltags(false);
$feed->init();
$feed->handle_content_type();

However this doesn't seem to be working. The links are present in my feed reader, so I don't believe the problem is with the feed itself, rather with the way I'm using SimplePie. Has anyone else encountered this issue, and found a solution? Thanks.

By default it strips out all HTML tags

Actually, it uses a blacklist to strip certain tags, but it does not strip links (a elements). If links are not appearing, then likely you're accessing the content wrong, or something else is stripping them.

One possibility for why this is occurring is that you're accessing the summary of the item instead of the content.
