[Solved] Ampersand in Skin Options by djdannyp on 11-13-2008 at 12:54 PM

I'm trying to use an Ampersand (&) in a custom skin options window but it's not parsing

I'm using

code:
&
inside a caption but it's just coming up as a blank character


Edit: Fixed, thanks to Mnjul :)

Works in scripting interfaces... could it be that it is being used as a shortcut key indicator for when the user presses Alt?

Hmm, yeah, that is indeed the case

I'd have thought that would just have been &Hello tho, to get the H to work as an Alt

Is there a way to display an ampersand or is this a bug/limitation?

Try && ? :S

p.s. I don't think it's a bug. Everything that should be escaped in XML should be escaped, including &, regardless of its usage and its place.
