I'm sure that we will be able to fix this...what I need to know from you is

a) what is actually being rendered (ie. character output)
b) what _should_ it be

If you can provide a simple example here, showing us the target piece of
markup, the BTExt element in question (ie. what data you are putting into
it), and then show us what is coming out along with what it _should_ be
instead, that we will be able to fix this.
