Re: How to display an ampersand using UiBinder?

I have to revive this thread. I just stumbled on the same problem in my UiBinder file. This really looks like a bug in GWT UiBinder.

 

I am using a different widget than Label (my own custom Button class that extends HasHTML and HasSafeHtml).

 

I include the entity line:

<!DOCTYPE ui:UiBinder SYSTEM "http://dl.google.com/gwt/DTD/xhtml.ent">

 

and then I have this in my UiBinder:

<w:Button ui:field="button">View and manage all user roles (own &amp; delegated) &raquo;</w:Button>

 

The &raquo; is properly showing the right double arrow sign, the & is not properly showing.

I also tried to use &#38; instead of &amp; but it gets printed as "&amp;"

 

So, this must be a bug in GWT UiBinder (not in SafeHtmlBuilder I tried that one already).

:-) Nice one! Yes, GWT finds that acceptable.

Unfortunately, I still need to use g:HTML instead of g:Label as Mauro
indicated. It's not a very big deal since the generated HTML is the
same except for the CSS class name used. I just wish I could treat all
labels the same.
