New Blogger Gui 2011 Pain: Postal Service Editor Together With Labels

As people are starting to role the New GUI (2011), we're seeing questions well-nigh apparent restrictions on labels, inwards the novel post service editor.

Why can't I role an apostrophe inwards my labels?

and

Why can't I convey a label "Red & Blue" whatever more?

Not all weblog owners appreciate the particular nature of for sure characters, inwards HTML. Nevertheless, nosotros are all affected past times how these particular characters are treated.

There are v particular characters, that you can't operate into equally elementary text, when you lot code HTML.

• The quote symbol " must live on entered equally """
• The apostrophe ' must live on entered equally "'" (If you lot are reading this inwards Internet Explorer, you lot may non run into this properly!)
• The ampersand & must live on entered equally "&"
• The less than sign < must live on entered equally "&lt;"
• The greater than sign > must live on entered equally "&gt;"

To brand post service editor code less complex, together with to a greater extent than stable, Blogger has evidently written the latest post service editor, to turn down labels amongst whatever of the v particular characters. This is peradventure business office of the novel Blogger browser back upward policy, which seems to live on to a greater extent than prevalent inwards diverse New GUI (2011) features.

We've seen problems amongst role of the ampersand together with apostrophe before, inwards other Blogger features. People convey been reporting problems amongst both characters, inwards both the weblog Name together with Title settings, for years. My Recipes blog, currently addressed equally "recipes.nitecruzr.net", used to live on titled "Chuck's Kitchen" - exactly is directly (illiterately) titled "Chucks Kitchen", because of chronic problems amongst the apostrophe.

When you lot edit a post service created inwards the classic post service editor (pre New GUI 2011), together with the post service contains labels which include either an ampersand ("&") or an apostrophe ("'"), you're belike going to run into an error.

These characters are non allowed inwards a post service label: &.

One weblog possessor did study that the New GUI Posts carte du jour does non convey this restriction, correct now. You tin sack evidently add together a label, using the "New label..." sorcerer inwards the Posts menu, containing an ampersand or apostrophe. Two caveats come upward to mind, here.

1. You convey to take whatever such labels inwards post service editor, together with re apply the label using Posts, each fourth dimension you lot edit a post.
2. I, personally, would non live on surprised if the Posts sorcerer were to convey this restriction applied, inwards the future.

My proffer is that you lot instruct used to including exclusively elementary alphanumeric characters, ("a" - "z", together with "0" - "9") inwards your labels.
