Stupid handling of ampersands is exactly why I prevent viewtext.org from displaying articles from https://grepular.com/ https://grepular.com/
Viewtext.org rewrites all links to a redirector on their own site, but doesn't decode the entities first. So if I have this link on my site:
<a href="http://example.com/?1=2&x=y">link</a>
Clicking that takes you directly to:
http://example.com/?1=2&x=y
However, clicking the munged viewtext version of the link, sends you to:
http://example.com/?1=2&x=y
That is a different URL! Can everyone please learn how to encode/decode html entities and uris properly.
