Just to interject: & has not been specially encoded except for during a brief time when " was also converted to " and counted as 5 characters and & equalled 4. This was un-done in a matter of days, if not less. I'd reiterate that there's no need to encode > as &rt; If you are encoding < as < there's no risk of someone getting an <img> tag or <a href tag to work, so maybe there is an argument for a left tag, but there's really no need to encode a right tag. Figured I'd throw that out there FWIW TjL
