Description Dean Camera 2013-05-19 17:36:13 UTC 
When HTML entities such as &trade; are used in a title, the resulting XML output is incorrectly generated. Instead of the expected <trademark/> or similar element, the ampersand in the entity is double-escaped.

Test case:

/** \mainpage
 *
 * \section Sec_Info About the Contoso &trade; project.
 * This section describes the Contoso &trade; project.
 */

Generated XML:

<detaileddescription>
    <sect1 id="index_1Sec_Info">
        <title>About the Contoso &amp;trade; project.</title>
        <para>This section describes the Contoso <trademark/> project. </para>
    </sect1>
</detaileddescription>
Comment 1 Dimitri van Heesch 2013-05-30 20:14:07 UTC 
Confirmed. Should be fixed in the next GIT update.
Comment 2 Dimitri van Heesch 2013-08-23 15:04:22 UTC 
This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.8.5. Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the
bug if you think it is not fixed and please include any additional information
that you think can be relevant.
