I have noticed that although ampersands are converted to their html entity for article body text, it is not the case with title fields.

Is there a way I can fix it so that html entities are used in other fields that display on the page?

For example, in 'News' (1.53) I found the title field code:



This appears to use a class (XoopsFormText) in class/xoopsform/formtext.php. Should I be looking to alter this class in some way, or am I on the wrong route completely?

Any guidance would be appreciated!

BTW The reason I need to do this is that adding an un-escaped ampersand makes the page W3C invalid HTML. I don't really want to tell my users they cannot use ampersands.

O.K., I was on the wrong route there!

Works for me, but I guess I would need to change every title input field on every module. Would be interesting if anyone knows of a better, perhaps global solution.
