Hi,

I am trying to validate my XHTML page (generated with Pylons/Mako) and got an error: http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Ftesting.developers.org.ua%2F

Warning Line 104 column 41: cannot generate system identifier for general entity "norestart". | <a href="/_pylons/selfupdate?svnup=yes&norestart=yes">Update</a> Obviously, w3c validators expects & to be encoded as & while it isn't. The url in question is generated with | <a href="${h.url_for(controller='selfupdate', svnup='yes', norestart='yes')}">Update</a>

What should I do to automatically convert & to &? Do I need to write a Mako filter? Does current behaviour correct/expected?

Oh oh oh!!! I wrote all about this here:
