You've highlighted a problem that really bugs me - firstly the use of ampersands (always to be avoided on the internet, so I'm told) but apostrophes are also a bit of a prob on this website, too. For example, in my weblog yesterday I mentioned Adam's Grave and Wayland's Smithy, but no matter how many [[double square brackets]] I put round them, the database fails to find them.

Can anyone explain this? Anyone got a fix for it? Anyone got a 'workaround' for it? Or is it an irritant I just have to live with?

I suspect the latter....

Jane,
I have a fix for both the ampersands and the apostrophes on the way.

The ampersand thing is just a law unto itself, though one I have recently wrestled control of.

The quote thing is different. It's because some keymaps automatically use smart quotes, so you get a bendy one ( ' ) rather than a straight one ( ' ). It differs from PC to PC. Note how Baza's apostrophes aren't apostrophes at all, but some kind of weird (`) 'tick' character (at least I tihnk that's what you call it).

Anyway, I have got the future update of TMA to deal with all the above issues except Baza's ticks. Soon forthcoming
