When I said & and & I actually wrote & amp ; (all joined up)

Try changing the &s to something else. Say.. just "x" and "x". See if it happens then. Let me know what happens. I think you might just be running into a problem with ampersands (which are often used to render HTML entities). It may be that you need to use & and & .. or, possibly, \& (backslash followed by ampersand)

Hi,

I am trying to use the gsub tag to change all instances of &'s in my feed to & so that I can make the page I am using this digest on xhtml compliant. Here is how I am using gsub.

<gsub from="&" to="&">%TITLE%
%DESCRIPTION%

</gsub>

When I view the source of the rendered digest, the <gsub> tag is still in the code, which is also making my page non-xhtml compliant.

Here is the code of the rendered digest

<gsub from="&" to="&">Playboy 69<br>
<img class="reflect" src="http://www.nathankowald.com/moblog/images/9843.jpg" alt="Playboy 69" width="140"><br><br>
</gsub>

Just wondering if I am doing something wrong.
