I encounter an annoying number of ampersands in URIs I copy and paste
into blog style diary entries, written in HTML with a text editor. Does
anyone happen to know of reasonably reliable method of detecting and
fixing these? At present I mostly don't notice ampersands until I get
around to validating my pages. I don't validate nearly as often as I add
invalid URIs.
At the moment I have no idea of how to automate a fix. Google didn't
turn up anything so far. One possibility might be a Bookmarklet. Another
a script done as a droplet, that accepts something from the buffer,
changes it, and puts it back into the paste buffer.
