Hi Andy,

Not lots, but the odd one or two seem to be cropping up. I get:

     *  Module reportlab.platypus.paragraph, line 379, in __init__
     * Module reportlab.platypus.paragraph, line 404, in _setup

xml parser error (bogus < or &) in paragraph beginning 'Faculty of Medicine & 
Dentistr'

I guess I should quote < and & in stuff I send into paragraphs?

How about stuff I'm putting on with canv.drawString?

cheers,

Chris
