An partial answer to Duane’s question regarding why Blogger appears to be encoding HTML entities for characters such as the ampersand literally as “& amp;” rather than “&”. I have only seen this happen when I use the Mac version of Internet Explorer. This double encoding does not happen when using the Mac version of Navigator or the Windows version of IE to post via Blogger. I know that really doesn’t answer your question, but you can either use Navigator or avoid pre-encoding your entities within Explorer when formatting your html snippets. I have a feeling it’s a browser encoding issue when form data is posted, rather than Blogger itself. Blogger just stores, displays, and publishes the data that the browser sends it. However, this doesn’t explain what Blogger does when you include hard line breaks within the text of your posts. Has anyone else experienced these problems. I have never had any resolution after posting the questions to the Pyra forums.
