[Answered] '&M' = M underlined?
« on: May 20, 2007, 12:41:57 pm »
'K&M Sub-Machine Gun';
or
'K' + Chr(38) + 'M Sub-Machine Gun';

both ends to showing up like
KM Sub-Machine Gun

Is it possible to make the "&" show like I wish it to? Or does it just want to be mean and I have to use a different character?

I don't think HTML encoding will work. I think you'll need to use another character.

The & thing is due to the unicode support in 1.4. Very annoying I'd say. ;(

This workaround shouldn't be needed in 1.4.1; I've mentioned this to MM already.
