[Rd] RSS Feed of NEWS needs a hand

Years ago Duncan set up a nightly job to feed RSS based off changes to NEWS,
borrowing some setup parts from CRANberries as for example the RSS 'compiler'.

That job is currently showing the new \I{...} curly protection in an
unfavourable light. Copying from the RSS reader I had pointed at this since
the start [1], for today I see (indented by four spaces)

    CHANGES IN R-devel INSTALLATION on WINDOWS
    
    The makefiles and installer scripts for Windows have been tailored to
    \IRtools44, an update of the \IRtools43 toolchain. It is based on GCC 13
    and newer versions of \IMinGW-W64, \Ibinutils and libraries (targeting
    64-bit Intel CPUs). R-devel can no longer be built using \IRtools43
    without changes. 

    \IRtools44 has experimental suport for 64-bit ARM (aarch64) CPUs via LLVM
    17 toolchain using lld, clang/flang-new and libc++. 

Can some kind soul put a filter over it to remove the \I ?

Thanks,  Dirk

[1] Feedly. Unless we set this up so early that I once used Google
Reader. It's been a while...
