I haven't bothered to investigate it often when the ampersand problem occurs, but on the couple of occasions I have, it has been a case of the ampersand being escaped only once, not twice. In RSS, or at least the versions of RSS I have read about (RSS being a mess of conflicting badly defined drafts of standards at best), there are two levels of encoding: the RSS level and the HTML level. First you create the HTML content, and at this point, you have to write "&" if you want an ampersand. Then you escape the HTML so that you can embed it into the RSS without having the HTML tags be interpreted by the RSS processors. At this point, the original "&" had been encoded as "&" and that now becomes becomes "&". "&" (what user sees) -> "&" (HTML code) -> "&" (HTML embedded in RSS). This is easily all very confusing, of course, and therefore easy to make mistakes in. I may well have made mistakes in my explanation: it's been a couple of years since I wrote my RSS generating code. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
