Subject: Petal doesn't understand &
Bruno, Petal is replacing the special character for ampersand ('&') with blanks. This is because MKDoc::XML::Decode::XHTML has the amp and several other common HTML Entities commented out. Do you know why this is the case? I'm filing the bug under Petal as it affects usability. William -- Knowmad Technologies http://www.knowmad.com

BTW, you can use the ISO Latin-1 code as a workaround (e.g., & for ampersand). William -- Knowmad Technologies http://www.knowmad.com

I'm not sure what you mean. A solitary character '&' in a template is invalid XML, but & should be passed through unchanged. (and & could pass through unchanged or be converted to &, I'm not sure what petal does here)
