Re: Silva 1.o / Unicode problem

Hi,

Thanks for the hint.

I had another, related problem. When I include '&' in e.g. a title or 
even in the running text (all based on Silva). The final page just looks 
fine. However, when I try to validate such a page with the 
http://validator.w3.org/ xhtml validator I get error messages on the 
'&'. It should be escaped and not appear as plain text. At least that is 
what I recall from the error message.

Should Silva take care about this, or is the validator not good enough 
in this respect?
