Description Matthias Clasen 2013-11-13 23:33:26 UTC

I'm seeing:

(org.gnome.Software:7256): Gtk-WARNING **: Failed to set text from markup due to error parsing markup: Error on line 1: Entity did not end with a semicolon; most likely you used an ampersand character without intending to start an entity - escape ampersand as &amp;

the markdown parser attempts to produce something that looks like xml, but fails to replace & with &amp;

    Automatically enable escaping when outputting PangoMarkup
    
    Also add quite a few self tests.
