[jira] Updated: (FOR-241) character entities (e.g. ampersand) are expanded again for href or src attributes

     [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOR-241?page=all ]

Ross Gardler updated FOR-241:
-----------------------------

    Fix Version: 0.8
                     (was: 0.7-dev)
    Description: 
If I have a url like this inside the XML source:

http://sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=comics-grabber&type=1

validate-xdocs fails because it wants the literal & to be typed out as
& instead. So I correct it to become:

http://sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=comics-grabber&type=1

However, the generated HTML has the entity resolution UNDONE!:

http://sourceforge.net/sflogo.php?group_id=comics-grabber&type=1

This HTML fails validation as 4.01 transitional.

David Crossley adds:
There is a demonstration of the problem in the document
src/documentation/content/xdocs/docs/dreams.xml
The ampersand in the link element text is properly handled but
the ampersand in the link href attribute is not.
