[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10801?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Fred Bricon commented on JBIDE-10801: ------------------------------------- For the moment I changed the title of the blog post (replaced '&' with 'and'), so that M5 users can see the blog entry and also added a quick'n dirty fix that replaces all standalone &'s with {noformat} &{noformat} in trunk. However we need a proper long-term solution that escapes all kind of xml entities. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

[ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBIDE-10801?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugi... ] Snjezana Peco resolved JBIDE-10801. ----------------------------------- Resolution: Done The JBoss Central already uses StringEscapeUtils.unescapeHtml (is used in Mylyn, too). This works for most of the cases. The special characters are shown properly. As to the specific cases, I have added the following: - if a created form text isn't a valid xml, call StringEscapeUtils.escapeXml for all the strings within a feed entry This will always create some entry, but it may be that some character can't be shown correctly. This is the reason why StringEscapeUtils.escapeXml isn't called directly. I have tried to call it directly, but special characters are shown as xml entities in that case. I don't see any general solution because the forms text component renders html partially. We can't use the browser widget component because it won't work on all OSs. IMO, these issues are rare and always can be fixed on the blogs/news server, so this is a satisfactory solution. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
