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.

Heh, I recently wrote one of those as well - with some examples from a
google code project.
