Hi Christiaan,

Coming back to what you wrote a few months ago, that you'd consider adding
a remove backslash before ampersand to stringByRemovingTeX;
In the current build it actually removes the ampersand not the backslash,
so that \& turns into \ in the template.  Maybe something went wrong there?

Thanks,

Jan
