Description Joshua Wulf 2011-11-02 11:31:47 UTC 
The following substitutions need to be made in all titles:

< = &lt;
> = &gt;
& = &amp;


So, for example: the Content Spec directive

Section: This is a <section>

renders as:

<section>
  <title>This is a &lt;section&gt;</title>

Otherwise the characters <>& will break Docbook xml, because they are meaningful as metadata indicators.

Done all <>& are replaced inside of the <title> element. Will be released in Build 13.

Edit sorry Josh i marked off the wrong one when I was going through setting completed bugs.

Anyways I tested this out and from what I can see old versions were already doing this. Could you give an example that this failed to do it on?

No examples to hand.
