$p->attr_encoded $p->attr_encoded( $bool ) By default, the "attr" and @attr argspecs will have general enti- ties for attribute values decoded. Enabling this attribute leaves entities alone.
So in the new() function of HTMLCleaner.pm I added this line:
$self->attr_encoded(1);
I'm not sure what the best place for this really is.
Let me know if you want a diff or patch or the actual file with the one line added.

I didn't look at the EtText code. I'm not using EtText. That made me think, I'm not putting format="text/html" in my <content> tags, and that maybe it was defaulting to "text/et". So I have a small example, and I put the format="text/html" into it and it still converts & to &. For reference here is what I am doing:
<webmake> <content name=dud format="text/html"> <html><body> <a href="http://nowhere.com/nofile.pl?&htqdb">test</a> </body></html> </content> <out name="dud" file="dud2.html"> ${dud} </out>
I'm running webmake through the perl debugger. I'll let you know if I find something.

Thanks for that information, jlm. I will watch for that.
Did you check in the EtText code?

It appears that webmake is converting my & entities into &. This is actually incorrect behavior:

Another common error occurs when including a URL which contains an ampersand ("&"):

To avoid problems with both validators and browsers, always use & in place of &:
<a href="foo.cgi?chapter=1&section=2">...</a>
The above is from http://www.htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html
So far I have been unlucky in finding out where in the webmake code this is actually happening.
Everywhere that I see an & in the code it is actually converting TO it instead of from it.
