I don't have the old one to compare, but I'm fairly sure that the plugin previously encoded special characters in substituted templates. (Or it handled multivalue templates differently, or something.)
Example issue: the {author} string
Code:
Hans Rosling & Ola Rosling & Anna Rosling Rönnlund
now comes through as
Code:
Hans%20Rosling%20&%20Ola%20Rosling%20&%20Anna%20Rosling%20Rönnlund
...and although the spaces are encoded, the ampersands are not and break the URL.
Do I now need a function wrapping each template entry, or...?
Thanks.
