Hello Forum.

I am using the BlogForUmbraco4 package (v 1.0) and came across a problem with the macro listing the tags next to the blog. The xslt file BlogCategories.xslt makes a call to the API method umbraco.editorControls.tags.getTagsFromNode, and it all works well until I enter a tag with an ampersand (&) in it. 
I had a closer look at the code of the getTagsFromNode method and what it does is this:

1. Fetch the tags from the database
2. Build an xml document in the shape of a string
3. Create an XmlDocument from the string

Now, if a tag contains an ampersand, a call to doc.LoadXml(xmlVal) which is done in that method fails due to poorly formatted xml. The only ways I can think of to avoid this problem are these:

1. Tell the users that they have to enter & instead of & in the tags.
2. Compile my own version of umbraco.editorConstrols where I html-format the tags before calling doc.LoadXml()

My question now: Is there any other way? I am not very good with xslt so maybe I am missing something obvious, but since the error occurs in the API and not in the xslt I don't think any xslt magic will help me.

Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

(I am using Umbraco 4.0.2.1)
