It was 125° in Baker yesterday, so I gave that the title of a (page node) post on a 5.1 site.

The entity reference was not displayed, rather, the sequence of ascii characters "&", "#", "1","7","6",";" was. In the body of the post the entity reference was correctly displayed as a raised small circle (degree symbol).

I suppose I'll test this in a 4.7.5 and the current HEAD. Pleasingly, the bug shows up in preview for this particular node. Of course, preview and submit are different code paths ... so let's see if the submit is as pleasingly broken as the preview, and of course, in the wild.

The bug is also in HEAD.

I am running into a similar but unrelated problem. I just want to have 2 versions of the title, one that has been prettied, and the other with my literal entry. If I enter "This Doesn't Look Good" In the header, I just want "This Doesn't Look Good" not "This Doesn't Look Good".

I am basically using an augmentation of a sIFR principle to feed a little flash applet the title of the node, to create pretty typographical title's. Even embedding the ' (apostrophe) and making the dynamic text field an HTML field doesn't help. I think I can solve this by just feeding it the literal ' (apopstrophe) instead of the HTML entity. The problem really is in FF on mac and pc.

We have some regular accent's because we are a university with an accent in it's name, and the eacute is coming up fine out of drupal as the actual entered, but I now realized it's just outputting the plain text. It would be good to be able to pretty stuff when you want it to be pretty (with html entities) but be literal in other instances (at least in my case).

P.S. You might want to check this out: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fdraftgore2008.org%2F

You have some weird a:hover stuff going on for your whole site, at least in safari on the mac. You might not be closing an </a> tag somewhere along the line. Just thought I would help ya out.

Note: I took a quick look at the source code in FF, and it was highlighting this line:
<p><a href="http://draftgore2008.org/es/ict"<img src="http://static.flickr.com/117/295088832_0ec227e79d_o.jpg" width="164" height="240" /></a><br></p>

That looks like your problem right there.

Sorry I realize this is unrelated.

Thanks for the tip. I'd used Opera when I had to use my daughter's os/x_10.3 machine, and didn't bother to find out why the underlining occured in Opera but not FF.

I appreciate your point also about wanting greater control over how html entity references are displayed, though using a flash applet (or any non-typographic blob of bits) is something I'd not thought of.

Version: 5.1 » 5.2

I just realized that Drupal can handle entities in the body but not in the title. So I have &quot; in the title and it shows as &quot; in the browser. I also have &quot; in the body and that shows properly as ' in the browser when the node is published.

So, the node system obviously handles title and body differently.

Due to the age of the last comment on this issue and due to the fact that D5 is no longer supported, I am closing this issue.
