<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Hi,</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Using OpenCms 6 alpha 3 I want to render full XHTML compliant content. To achieve this, I use the following URL:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"><a href="some.jsp?a=b&b=b">somelink</a>. </FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">However, no matter what I try, OpenCms always stores this as:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial"><a href="some.jsp?a=b&b=b">somelink</a></FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">The ampersand in the href attribute makes this non-compliant with XHTML. Any processors that expect XHTML will fail for this reason. Is there any way of preventing OpenCms to remove the "&" entity? I am already using the XML and XHTML declarations at the top of my templates:</FONT></P>
