 * I’m using the function wp_link_pages() in my wordpress theme to make the page
   links for multi-paged posts and am coming up against an xhtml validation error.
   The html generated by the function is not encoding the & in the urls. E.g.
    `
   <a href="http://example.com?p=188&page=2">2</a>` should be `<a href="http://example.
   com?p=188&page=2">2</a>`
 * _edit: this forum seems to be unencoding even my coded & symbols. The 2nd example
   should have a `&amp ;` instead of a &. (without the space before the 😉_
 * Here is my code with the function arguments:
 * `<?php wp_link_pages( array( 'before' => '<div class="page-link">' . __( 'Pages:',''),'
   after' => '</div>' ) ); ?>`
 * Any ideas as to how I can get it to make valid xhmtl?

 * Closest ticket i could find.

 * See the attached patch, i think that’s the source of your issue (with the unencoded&’
   s).
