           Summary: SRF Exhibit format cannot cope with & % $ £ etc in
                    page titles

It looks like the SRF Exhibit format can only cope with page titles with a-z,
A-Z and 0-9 in them. Other characters s like & £ $ @ etc stop you being able to
open articles - when you click on the page name in the result set and nothing
happens, the page does not open. The screen just refreshes showing the Exhibit
result set again.

Example:

Page name = "North & East London" - Page is listed in result set, but when you
click on it nothing happens. The screen just refreshes showing the Exhibit
result set again.

If the page is renamed "North and East London" then it can be opened from the
exhibit result set. This is just masking the issue though and users cannot be
expected to only use a-z A-Z and 0-9 in page titles.

This pretty much makes the Exhibit format useless. These type of characters are
very common character in English, let alone French and German etc. 

Thanks
Neill.
