[ v.2.8.4 ] '&' character not escaped on 'twitter 'a' tag - validation problems
..
Dear Thorsten Rinne / Development Team

On the page's "social" area, the Twitter link (thus "a" tag "href" argument) has a non-escaped "&" caracter - so it's not valid (X)HTML code.

Example Result and validator's error message (first occurrence)
  • generated code line

    Code: Select all
