Unfortunately my previous message did not come across correcty, since my example sentences were changed in url's and this changed the original content. I will give below the sentence used, but without the "http://mywebsite.com"; part, so the original text is readable:
The typed message was: /page.php?para1=this¶2=that The message shown in the tweet was: /page.php?para=this&para2=that If Twitter does not recognize part of the message as a url, it levaes the & intact. I am not sure how to solve this with the message creation. On Nov 11, 6:02 pm, Tom van der Woerdt <i...@tvdw.eu> wrote: > Twitter itself won't do this. It's definitely your library. > > 1.
