Defect #29681

"x%x%" is rendered as "&" in Textile formatter
Added by Go MAEDA about 8 years ago.

Description
The character sequence described in the subject is always rendered as "&" in Textile formatter. You can easily reproduce this issue by entering the sequence in a description field of an issue.
You see '=> "&"' in the second line of the following text. Actually, it is 'x % x %" (I cannot spell it without spaces due to the bug).
2.3.3 :001 > ['x', '%', 'x', '%'].join
=> "&"
This is because RedCloth temporarily replaces "&" with "x % x %" (actually, there are no space characters) while converting Textile to HTML.

Thanks for reporting, this persists on this website.
The problematic sequence can be displayed by marking it up with HTML character references: “x%x%”.
