    In .71, I’m having trouble with XHTML validation when quote characters are in the title. It doesn’t appear to be escaping them properly with HTML entities.
    Keep up the good work 😉

    I’m seeing the same problem with my blog:
    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ben-johnson.org%2Fblog%2F
    The problem is manifesting itself both in the blog title and in individual posting titles.

    Me too. Apart from that it’s the best blogging software I’ve ever seen

    Folks,
    I have a temporary fix for this problem: in b2template.functions.php the function the_title() round about line 352, change
    echo convert_chars($before.$title.$after, ‘html’);
    into
    echo $before.$title.$after;
    Matt, I think this problem stems from the speed up changes in the convert_chars function. We need to look at what this code is (or isn’t) doing.
    Hope this helps,
    Mike

    I’ve tried this trick and it works well. There’s one problem left though, to make my page valid : the Euro character isn’t working. I mean, it displays OK, but the validator keeps yelling 🙁
    I’ve changed the charset in index.php to be iso8859-15, but it doesn’t solve anything.
    Thanks for the previous anyway, and WordPress is really great.
