No, htdig should properly handle bare ampersands, and shouldn't care if the html/head tags get swallowed up. I can't reproduce the problem with 3.1.x right now. I haven't ruled out a 3.2 bug yet, though that too seems unlikely to me. I'll wait to hear back from Daniel about his version before trying further tests. > I'm also not clear what the purpose of the metadata > is if you then tell the search robot to ignore it!
