Hello Pete,
You probably want to have the "tagged text" box checked.
If you didn't have the box checked, you would
see the tags themselves in your output.
Now, what's important to note here is that the "tagged text" setting
not only tells FusionPro to parse tags but it
also tells it to parse entities, like "&" (ampersand) and
"<" (less-than).
Problems can crop up if you're using a rule that's returning a
combination of tagged markup and literal, or "raw," text, such as
field values or other data input by the user. Say you have a field,
we'll call it "MyField," and the value in your field is something
like this:
I love PB&J! <grin> How about you?
And say you have a rule that simply returns this field value:
return Field("MyField");
Or just:
return "I love PB&J! <grin> How about you?";
Now, if you return this field value from a rule and the "tagged text"
box is checked, you'll only get this in your output:
I love PB How about you?
What happened here? Well, you're telling FusionPro to parse the
returned value as tagged data, so it's looking for tags starting with
the less-than symbol (<), and entities starting with the ampersand
symbol (&). It sees "&J!" and tries to figure out what entity that
represents, and it sees "<grin>" and tries to match it to a tag.
Since these are not real tags and entities, FusionPro punts and puts
out some warnings in the log file and you get nothing in the output.
If you turn off the "tagged text" checkbox, then you get the text in
the output just as it appears in the field.

Subject: [fusionpro] & in a return string
I have a job that I am using a company field in, and in one text box on the
piece I am using the upper function to capitalize the company name. In some
company names there is an & (AT&T for example). When there is an & it returns
AT instead of AT&T (not good!). Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks
