It seems to me strange - I know that in HTML the & is a restricted character, so it might make sense that the filter doesn't pick it up and properly escape it. I am not familiar enough with RTF to know if the ampersand is a special character there or not.

I agree - it seems really odd to replace & by 'and' either forcibly through the filter or in every module which might use one. > > God bless, > > Barry > > -- From Barry Drake (The Revd) minister of the Netherfield United Reformed > church, Nottingham see http://www.jesusinnetherfield.org.uk for our church > homepages). > > Replies - [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > _______________________________________________ > sword-devel mailing list: [email protected] > http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel > Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page > _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: [email protected] http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
