RE: Problem with entities in RSS

Georg, I guess it is the weblog tool. I have a weblog category whose 
description was set to 'Python & Jython'. The <description> field in 
the category RSS is un-escaped. I think it is the call to 
$current.getRSSDescription() in the template that is the problem.

I am running PyDS 0.7.1 on Win2K.

Thanks,
Kent
