<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Using OpenCms 6 alpha 3, I have created a page that contains the following hyperlink:</FONT>
<BR><B><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"><p><a href="mypage.html?bruto1=1000&bruto2=2000" target="_self">Ok</a></p></FONT></B>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">As my pages are processed by a transformer engine, my output needs to be XHTML compliant. This means that my hyperlink really needs be:</FONT></P>
<P><B><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"><p><a href="mypage.html?bruto1=1000&bruto2=2000" target="_self">Ok</a></p></FONT></B>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Please note the encoding of the ampersand character in the URL parameter list. However, no matter what I do, OpenCms always stores the hyperlink without the ampersand encoding (it converts it automatically to the first URL). This renders content that is invalid XML (the transforming engine 'thinks' that &bruto2 represents a character entity. Is there a way to prevent that translation from "&" to "&" by OpenCms, making my page XHTML compliant?</FONT></P>
