Hmm, this seems to be caused by the \xmlgrab in fotex.xmt's implementation of basic-link.
I have reported this upstream, but not heard anything back yet.
Cheers - do you have an upstream bugzilla no or a pointer to the appropriate list archive.
No, I reported it in private mail.
easy, make & be outputted as {\&} , as explained in http://www.rpi.edu/~chos/latex.html
PassiveTeX/xmltex is quite twisty, and it's hard to see where/how to do this.. :-(
'Red Hat Raw Hide' refers to the development tree for Red Hat Linux. Red Hat Linux is no longer supported by Red Hat, Inc. If you are still running Red Hat Linux, you are strongly advised to upgrade to a current Fedora Core release or Red Hat Enterprise Linux or comparable. Some information on which option may be right for you is available at http://www.redhat.com/rhel/migrate/redhatlinux/. Red Hat apologizes that these issues were not resolved in a more timely manner. However, we do want to make sure that important don't slip through the cracks. If these issues are still present in a current release, such as Fedora Core 5, please move these bugs to that product and version. Note that any remaining Red Hat Raw Hide bugs will be closed as 'CANTFIX' on September 30, 2006. Thanks again for your help.
Closing as CANTFIX per previous comment and lack of response.
