XHTML special chars in title line

On my website http://www.server-sql.de/ I have problems to get it validated with http://validator.w3.org/ - the "&" is not coded with htmlspecialchars(). Prohably in the next version the title and subtitle may be converted and entities used when necessary?

I think we've examined this before, but I can't remember what we resolved.

I notice you're running 1.3; have you considered upgrading to 1.3.2? I can't guarantee it'll fix your problem, but it can't hurt, either.

Hi!

Actually this is just a template matter. If you use the s9y default templates or bulletproof, all characters should be encoded...you can add the "@escape" modifier to your title attributes yourself in your custom template.

Thank you for your quick support! The title line now looks like this:

Code: Select all

<title>{$head_title|@default:$blogTitle} {if $head_subtitle} • {$head_subtitle}{/if}</title>

Where has the @escape-option to be applied?

Hi!

Use this:

Code: Select all

<title>{$head_title|@default:$blogTitle|@escape} {if $head_subtitle} • {$head_subtitle|@escape}{/if}</title>
