:-) The user will get the & character in a label and the SGML parser will complain that some "entity XYZ not defined", I guess. But you know my stand on this: the user used "&" in a label, the user has to draw all consequences of his action. The parser will complain, the user will have a look into the exported SGML file, the user will recognize his mistake and will correct it. The user asked for a "&" in a label, the user got it. And not: The user asked for "this", but he got "that". We now have The user asked for "this", but he got "that" with a warning. which I have agreed to as a compromise. BTW, I had such problems with "<" and ">" in URL texts. The parser would complain "entity XYZ not defined", I would check the SGML file and say to myself "but of course!", then go to the URL text and enter "& lt ;" instead of "<" - and everything would be fine. For example, in http://www.karakas-online.de/mySGML/openjade-errors.html (which is a document I created with LyX and its SGML export) I have a link with the URL text Definitive Guide to DocBook on the < entry > element Now, the way you want to do it, mangling labels and texts, how are you going to know that a "&" is a real "&" and not part of an "entity delimiter", as in "& lt ;"? You will end up trying to emulate an SGML parser, which is really not LyX' job. Note: I have inserted blanks in my strings, so that my webmail does not interprete them as real entities and filters them out. But I am sure you understand what I meant. ;-) -- Regards Chris Karakas http://www.karakas-online.de
