I have a Title in my CMS which contains an & sign is there any way to  
have radiant html encode it using tags? (Because as everybody knows &  
signs are dangerous for validation)

I can write an extension for this, but it seems overkill… I expect  
it would be a standard tag really…

\<r:html\_entities\>\<r:title /\>\</r:html\_entites\>

If not and people think it’s worth it i’ll write a patch for Radiant.

TIA,
