[reportlab-users] errors parsing & > in paragraphs

[Timothy Smith]

it appears ther emight be some kind of inconsistency between the windows 
and source release? can anyone verify this by testing it.

my freebsd installation simply chops out the & (also not really 
desirable) but windows actually errors

  File "Z:\Projects\PubWare\trunk\python\BonusPDF.py", line 111, in 
MakeBonus
    PaperWork[x][2] = Paragraph(PaperWork[x][2],RegularTextStyle)
  File "C:\Python23\reportlab\platypus\paragraph.py", line 379, in __init__
    self._setup(text, style, bulletText, frags, cleanBlockQuotedText)
  File "C:\Python23\reportlab\platypus\paragraph.py", line 404, in _setup
    raise "xml parser error (%s) in paragraph beginning\n'%s'"\
xml parser error (bogus < or &) in paragraph beginning
'test & test'

i'm still using 1.19 btw, but if someone can verify this is fixed in 
1.20 i might update
