How to put an @ in a mailto link

[Ritchie Young <Ri...@westone.wa.gov.au>]

Hi,

I've started using Forrest lately and found it very useful in terms of
getting a nicely structured site up quickly.

I'm using it for an intranet site and I want to do a mailing list page. I
wanted to include a mailto: link so that users could subscribe to the
mailing list just by clicking the link so I put:

<link href="mailto:blah-subscribe@lists.westone.wa.gov.au">subscribe to
blah</link>

which resulted in:

a mailto link to the recipient 'blah-subscribe.at.lists.westone.wa.gov.au'.

Presumably, this behaviour is to foil spammers when generating Internet
sites but can it be circumvented if you really do want to generate a real
email address?

Thanks
Ritchie

I saw Ritchie Young's xslt that followed. What would be the best approach
for Apache sites using forrestbot? (I am with FOP). Thanks very much.

It is not yet configurable, but could/should be made so.
I have added your suggestion to the todo list.

You could disable this feature by making some modifications
to the src/resources/skins/common/xslt/html/document2html.xsl
at around line 204.
