#220 unescaped & or unknown entity in URL
Hello,
i implemented some links
The eclipsetidy version 1.2.2 marks the following line after a check
Java Runzime Environment
ab Version 1.5"
with
Multiple annotations found at this line:
- unescaped & or unknown entity "&ProductID" - column 222
- unescaped & or unknown entity "&OrderID" - column 189
- unescaped & or unknown entity "&FileName" - column 257
However, in this case the ampersand is the separator of the arguments of an Url and not an unescaped & or an unknown entity
With best regards
Dirk
First of all, this is not the eclipsetidy project.
However, your problem is quite clear: ampersands in urls need to be escaped in html pages, see http://htmlhelp.com/tools/validator/problems.html#amp
Inside HTML & must be properly encoded as &
The warning is correct.
