Hi Alex,
Galaxy "sanitizes" the params to remove unsafe characters. It's a security
feature. From a previous post some time ago:
If you trust your users you can add the option name to NEVER_SANITIZE
in lib/galaxy/utils/_init_.py
You can also have a look at that *.py file and
lib/galaxy/tools/parameters/sanitize.py to see what gets sanitized. AFAIK this
is not well documented on the Wiki...
Cheers,
Pi
