That means that an & should become &.
RIght & < and > - but my question was if there is some python call to do this or if I just have to roll my own. I recently added this to my code base: def quote_markup(str): return str.replace("&", "&").replace(">", ">").replace("<", "<") It just would be nice if gtk offered something like that - or at least didn't break if you put an & in the text. My version is pretty braindead, but if I use it carefully in my app, it works fine.
