MapFish doesn't render HTML legend titles properly

[jonathan-wcc]

I have a SLD with a definition of:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

se:NameA&E Hospitals/se:Name se:FeatureTypeStyle se:Rule se:PointSymbolizer se:Graphic se:ExternalGraphic se:Formatimage/png/se:Format /se:ExternalGraphic se:Size26/se:Size /se:Graphic /se:PointSymbolizer /se:Rule /se:FeatureTypeStyle

Because it's XML, it needs to have the & down as & (as I've done here). MFP 2.0 doesn't seem to realise this and renders it as & rather than &.

jonathan, mark-down destroyed what you pasted. you can please share your sld again, this time in some sort of markdown wrapper that won't remove your special characters?

HI Jamie, Sorry about that. I hate systems that try to be "smart" (i.e. by deducing markdown/up) - they're invariably not.

Github won't let me attach it (images only it seems). I've put it here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B22cYd3gwE-6ZUpITFF4OS1oV0k/edit?usp=sharing

A good place to paste code is http://pastebin.com/.

Alternatively, in GitHub you can do (3 back ticks followed directly by xml):

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<StyledLayerDescriptor xmlns="http://www.opengis.net/sld" xmlns:ogc="http://www.opengis.net/ogc" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" version="1.1.0" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.opengis.net/sld http://schemas.opengis.net/sld/1.1.0/StyledLayerDescriptor.xsd" xmlns:se="http://www.opengis.net/se">
  <NamedLayer>
    <se:Name>A&amp;E Hospitals</se:Name>
    <UserStyle>
      <se:FeatureTypeStyle>
        <se:Rule>
          <se:PointSymbolizer>
            <se:Graphic>
              <se:ExternalGraphic>
                <se:OnlineResource xlink:type="simple" xlink:href="file:///d:/GeoServer_Config_Dir/symbology/OpenIcons_PNG/hospital.png"/>
                <se:Format>image/png</se:Format>
              </se:ExternalGraphic>
              <se:Size>26</se:Size>
            </se:Graphic>
          </se:PointSymbolizer>
        </se:Rule>
      </se:FeatureTypeStyle>
    </UserStyle>
  </NamedLayer>
</StyledLayerDescriptor>

end with 3 back ticks (https://help.github.com/articles/github-flavored-markdown#fenced-code-blocks).

Interesting. That's the file anyway.

Relating to the ticket, it seems github is trying to outwit us - basically MFP is printing & amp; (sans space) instead of just a plain &.
