Hi all, I've found interesting bug in XMLUI - searching in the archives has told me that some users found it before me (however, without any suitable response).
The trouble is that the ampersand "&" character is always translated into XML "&" in XMLUI in case this ampersand is stored in any "HTML" form (like introductory text for community/collection). This behaviour could be quite embarassing - assume we want to have a well-formed XHTML so there is for example: <i>Hewlet&Packard</i>: <a href="http://linkwithparams.org/?param1&param2";>linkwithparams</a> The result in XMLUI is then: <i>Hewlet&amp;Packard</i> <a href="http://linkwithparams.org/?param1&amp;param2";>linkwithparams</a> The first line cause only wrong diplayed text while the link on the second line is malfunctional (the params are corrupted). The solution could be to ignore entity and store "&" character only (and most of users do so). However, the best (and right) solution is to encode only those ampersands which are not encoded yet... How do you cope with this "bug"?
