Forrest generating invalid HTML

Hi.

In my site.xml file I have a URL that contains an ampersand.  When the
HTML is generated, the corresponding 'a' element includes the ampersand
unescaped:

  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlgraphics/batik/trunk/documentation-sources/content/xdocs/site.xml
  http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/xmlgraphics/site/deploy/batik/index.html

(Search for the string “bugzilla” in those.)

Is there a way I can make forrest generate valid HTML?

Thanks,

Cameron
