Indeed, I am someone who will often S & for  in a webpage when the
validator complains about them. It has to be an attended S though!

Transfer2? Why not just drag the URL into your editor?

Thhanks - I can't have dug dseep enough. But what a pain - I extract URLs
from NetSurf's URL bar using !Transfer2. It of course picks up the
unglyphed version.

No,  won't work from your editor. It will work only in the Browser.

The four amp version of the link above will be
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=ensource=hpie=ISO-8859-1q=omeprazole+causes+bile+refluxbtnG=Google+Search

And, buried in HTML, it works fine. It doesn't work in Pluto or StrongED
though, so don't expect it to. They are happy with '&' and don't
translate the ''s as a browser does/has to.

It's working just as it should. Your example elsewhere had a typo.

Validation

2017-12-17 Thread Richard Torrens (lists) 
I was trying to validate an html page using w3c validator. I could not!

The reason was that the page contains lots of links to Google searches
etc. e.g.
http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en=hp=ISO-8859-1=omeprazole+causes+bile+reflux=Google+Search;>

The validator complains about the & in there - it wants  but the link
with that in won't work.

So is this a fault in the validator - or something which should be
accomodated in NetSurf?
