Ampersands escaped in URLs within comments

Ampersands in URLs SHOULD be encoded because if they aren’t it violates the W3C specs. If it did something seriously funky it could be a bug though, if you could point te the comment in question we could help you better.

Yeah, you want those ampersands escaped, otherwise it’ll bugger up your RSS feeds (XML really doesn’t like unescaped ampersands)

OK. I apologize for my post above. WordPress properly handles ampersands in URL. But … it mistakenly suppress the string “ID=” when it appears in some URLs (in comments). I have set an example here : https://sig.levillage.org/index.php?p=386&c=1
As you will see, I wanted to make a link toward https://www.dmreview.com/master.cfm?NavID=193&EdID=7438
But the URL appeared as https://www.dmreview.com/master.cfm?Nav193&Ed7438 instead.

Trust me…. if you want that (X)HTML W3C validation… ampersands need to be escaped out. I had bee struggling with that problem for some time. When the browsert gets it, it will return the escaped doe back to it’s proper character.
