Re: URLs contain ampersand on output
try the ascii version in place of & Moshe Yudkowsky wrote: I just ran my forrest files through a validator, and to my dismay I see that there's a problem. In site.xml, some of the URLs I enter have an "&" character in them. I write these as HTML entities; otherwise site.xml won't validate. The output of forrest has "&" in the URLs. That would be fine, except that the page won't validate; the source code of the page has to use an entity for "&" in the URLs. I can't find a setting anywhere (forrest.properties, skinconf.xml., or the xslt files) that would change this behavior. Help?
Re: URLs contain ampersand on output
sorry, forgot to mention - make sure to concat and replace & with & your url's.

Perhaps it is this ... http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-241 "character entities (e.g. ampersand) are expanded again for href or src attributes" -David

If I use "&" instead of & in the url in site.xml, I have the same problem. If I use "&", I get & resulting html output. That works and that validates, so that will be my workaround in the meantime.

But I didn't understand the resolution; does that mean I need to use 0.8-dev to get the fix incorporated? Ross, I will assume that since David's issue tracked this, I don't need to raise a separate issue on the tracker. -- Moshe Yudkowsky work: http://www.Disaggregate.com book: http://www.PebbleAndAvalanche.com
