CMS: Character code is showing in title tag

[lalov1]

I've noticed the character code is showing in the title of some pages with ampersands or other characters. This is from title being escaped, so I don't know if there is any way around this.

hmm, which page is this? it would only be double escaping if the title is actually "&" and not "&"

I wonder if it's because it's escaped at the top, but then escaped at the bottom again.

#set ( $callingPage = $currentPage.metadata )
#set ( $title = $_EscapeTool.xml($callingPage.title.trim()) )
#set ( $displayName = $_EscapeTool.xml($callingPage.displayName.trim()) )
#set ( $name = $_EscapeTool.xml($currentPage.name.trim()) )
#set ( $fullSiteName = $_EscapeTool.xml($siteSetup.metadata.title).trim() )
##
## title: ${title}
## dn: ${displayName}
## name: ${name}
## $_PropertyTool.outputProperties($currentPage)
## $_PropertyTool.outputProperties($callingPage)
##
#set ( $outputTitle = $displayName )
#if ( $_PropertyTool.isEmpty($outputTitle) )
    #set ( $outputTitle = $title )
#end
#if ( $_PropertyTool.isEmpty($displayName) and $_PropertyTool.isEmpty($title) )
    #set ( $outputTitle = $name )
#end
#set ( $outTitle = $outputTitle )

${outTitle} | $fullSiteName | UTSA | University of Texas at San Antonio
