This is Kid doing the "right thing" for a templating system. There are various bad things that can happen if you accidentally bring in HTML content from the wild and display it on your site. So, by default, Kid escapes everything so that the content you provide Kid is displayed exactly as Kid received it. You can use the built in XML() function to tell Kid that the incoming content is XML and ready for display. (You can see this in action in the 20 Minute Wiki.) > I looked at the resulting HTML for case (1) above, and what is happening is > that the < character is being escaped; > is not. Now that's just weird. Sounds like a bug to me. You weren't using the XML function, were you? Kevin
