Description ariel.baras 2015-01-14 21:07:32 UTC 
When using special characters (the ones that should start with an ampersand '&' and finish with semicolon ';') it only outputs the part after the semicolon. (eg: ' some text there')

This is part of the .policy file I'm trying with.

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE policyconfig PUBLIC
     "-//freedesktop//DTD PolicyKit Policy Configuration 1.0//EN"
     "http://www.freedesktop.org/standards/PolicyKit/1/policyconfig.dtd">
    <policyconfig>

      <vendor>Some text here &amp; some text there</vendor>
      <vendor_url>http://example.com/</vendor_url>

      <action id="...">
        ...
      </action>

    </policyconfig>
