Characters output as HTML escape sequences in the QIF files #3

In an input CSV file, AT&T in an account name gets output as AT&T in the QIF/OFX file. It should be output as AT&T. There is no need to convert into the HTML escape sequence.

the same issue applies to payees, memos and other fields.

Perhaps QIF would work without the conversion. Have you tried the OFX without it? OFX is XML and & is a special character in XML and it is invalid. The importer may ignore the issue. Does the & appear as & in the imported transaction?
