The symbols on my site (ex: &trade), simple html coding, no longer translate as a symbol but as the literal text in 4.0, what can I do?

I updated to 4.0 today and now the symbols on my site appear as literal text. For example &trade in my html to translate onto my site as the TM symbol. It worked in the previous version and still works on other browsers.

Make sure that you add a trailing ";" : ™ -> ™

Take a look at this website. It has a lot of HTML symbols and entities. Do they display wrong on your end? HTML character symbols

They display ok for me on a mac in Firefox 4. What about you?

Yup, they all work :)

Apparently I forgot the ";" but it worked without it on my previous version of Firefox as well as in Safari etc. Oh well. Thank you so much for your help, I appreciate it!

Hello,

Not related to the "& trade ;" symbol, but otherwise a related bug:

The following string: "& amp ; sect" gets translated to the § ("& sect ;") symbol.

And yes, I have triple-checked everything, and I'm sure this is a bug. Note the string is inside a link in a href attribute of an "a" tag.

Can anyone reproduce and let me know if it's really a bug? If so, we should report it.

Thanks!

Sorry, the previous string got stripped in my previous post. It is "& amp ; sect" (without spaces).

Thanks.
