Description

Not sure if I built the app correctly as it didn't show up in a device emulator, but it looks like the '&' character is not decoding properly. See the attached screenshot.

Hello from the WordPress? for Android team :D

Thanks for the report I have been able to reproduce it on the Nokia E75. Lets see what can be done about it.

Thanks for the report and good job with the Android app! This is now fixed in SVN revision 15 (trunk) and 16 (0.5 branch).

If you find any other places where there might be special characters and they are not handled properly, do not hesitate to open new tickets about them.

Reopening, as the issue is still not fixed on wordpress.com blogs. In our custom test blog the characters will work. I will investigate this during the next week.

I tried this in wordpress.com hosted blog via dashboard and it seems that does not work in dashboard either. Dashboard also shows & as post title.

Our custom test blog has older version of wordpress than wordpress.com hosted blogs. Maybe this is something that has changed in wordpress code.

Oops, tested this with the wrong blog by accident. The status is still the same, i.e. doesn't work on wordpress.com blogs.

The post title and description sent by WordPress? are HTML, but we are currently rendering them as plaintext.

WordPress? 2.8 will let the unescaped "&" (invalid HTML) in the title/description slip by as-is in the XML-RPC API and only fix it up when displaying the post, whereas WordPress? 3.0 will automatically apply some kind of heuristic to fix up unescaped "&" to "&" at the XML-RPC level, like it should be.

We are then displaying this raw HTML code as plaintext, which is rather wrong.

Using <html-like tags> in the title also fails badly.

The page/post/comment title/content fields should all be shown as HTML in all views.

The page/post/comment editing forms currently just show the raw HTML code, as designed.
