if i enter
<a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=<?php echo curPageURL() ?>" rel="external,nofollow">XHTML</a>
via hybrid hook in, for example, the footer section, i get this exact code to the browser. but from then on, everytime i view the hybrid hook settings page, it substituted & for &, so if i click save settings again (because let's say I added something to header), I start getting
<a href="http://validator.w3.org/check?verbose=1&uri=<?php echo curPageURL() ?>" rel="external,nofollow">XHTML</a>
on the browser, and for this reason the page fails validation.
is this something that can be fixed? similar character replacement occurs if i enter uni-encoded HTML in there, but that is not so much of a problem cause it doesnt cause my site to fail validation.
