Summary: unescaped & or unknown entity in URL

Initial Comment:
Hello,

i implemented some links

The eclipsetidy version 1.2.2 marks the following line after a check

<a href="http://cds.sun.com/is-bin/INTERSHOP.enfinity/WFS/CDS-CDS_Developer-Site/en_US/-/USD/VerifyItem-Start/jre-6u20-windows-i586.exe?BundledLineItemUUID=2RKJ_hCyQ_oAAAEpg7o9a6NS&OrderID=pPSJ_hCyy5UAAAEpd7o9a6NS&ProductID=MUNIBe.pkFEAAAEns3oZAPYl&FileName=/jre-6u20-windows-i586.exe">Java Runzime Environment
        ab Version 1.5"</a>

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

Message:
Inside HTML & must be properly encoded as &amp; 
The warning is correct.

Message:
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
