EE 1x plugin wont parse nested plugin tags - plugins

Question

I wrote a simple and short expressionengine 1x plugin which works well for what I needed.
It is working fine with the following code:
{exp:iv_simple_rss_parser feed="http://imccomunicacion.tumblr.com/rss" strip_tags="yes"}
Title {title}
{exp:word_limit total="20"}{description}{/exp:word_limit}
{link}
{/exp:iv_simple_rss_parser}
I needed to limit the {description} var so I wanted to use the word_limit plugin, like you can see. The fact is that all works ok but the description tag is no limited by word_limit.
It seems that EE is not parsing that nested plugin, it just ignores it, like it was not there.
How can I make EE to parse the word_limit plugin when it is inside of my plugin??
Thanks!

Answer 1

This is because the inner-most plugin tag parses first, and at that point, {description} doesn't exist yet. You can reverse the parse order by adding parse="inward" to your outer plugin tag:
{exp:iv_simple_rss_parser feed="http://imccomunicacion.tumblr.com/rss" strip_tags="yes" parse="inward"}
Title {title}
{exp:word_limit total="20"}{description}{/exp:word_limit}
{link}
{/exp:iv_simple_rss_parser}
