[reportlab-users] Bogus Character

[Jessup, David]

Use:
 
    from xml.sal import saxutils
        ...
    my_paragraph = Paragraph(saxutils.escape(my_text), style)
 
The escape function will encode the special characters in your text (&
-> &, etc.) so that Paragraph can understand it.

Hello all,
I've an error if a Paragraph contains some characters such as "&". 

Is there a way to fix that other than replacing the character?

Thanks!
