Norm, you called it. I had convinced myself it was the problem, but
as a test, I saved the ouput, changed & to & and reloaded the
static page and ended up with the same result, so, something's up with
the plugin. Thanks for zeroing in on this one.

I have tried encoding and escaping. Please, is there a workaround?
Are you sure that putting the escaped & in there is a problem?
If you send
<embed flashvars="zoomifyImagePath=img/
someFn&zoomifySplashScreen=0"
to a browser, it should interpret that attribute value as
"zoomifyImagePath=img/someFn&zoomifySplashScreen=0"
which is presumably what the plugin wants. If you could persuade the
generated HTML to include
<embed flashvars="zoomifyImagePath=img/someFn&zoomifySplashScreen=0"
you'd be relying on quirky parsing at best.
OTOH, maybe what I've just said applyes to XHTML but not HTML. Still,
it might be worth testing...
Be seeing you,
norm
