Autolinks do not work with & in article title

Several articles with & in titles do not generate autolink

I think this is likely a duplicate since it seems familiar to me, but I could not find an earlier problem report that seemed to fit.

If an article name contains an ampersand character like "Bate & bacon" or "E. Howard & Co." a reference using the exact name in a regular forum article does not generate an autolink.

Here is a reference from our site that illustrates the problem: http://mb.nawcc.org/showthread.php?t=54083

Well the fix for this is going to slow the page down slightly, but I suppose there's not much to be done about that. In vault/special_plugins_autolink.php, find:

Code:

$lowertext = strtolower($text);

Add before:

Code:

$text = htmlspecialchars_uni($text);

Find:

Code:

CES-XST()DOL#L', '$', $text);

Add after:

Code:

$text = unhtmlspecialchars($text);

Your string inside the code block gets parsed?

This fix did not seem to work. I opened your posts above with Quote so I could read the target values and make sure the edit values were correct.

Bates & Bacon still does not autolink.
