&-sign gets removed

[TKSS3]

Question / Bug

&-symbol gets removed from generated template.
For example:
ben&jerry -> benjerry
ben & jerry -> ben jerry

The only weird thing is, it doesn't happen to the &-symbol that already is in "Default CVSSv3 Template" (maybe other templates), but if i add my own (for example ben&jerry), it gets removed

Template:

After generated:

As you can see the &-symbol got removed at ben&jerry, but not at C&C.

How to reproduce:

1. add ben&jerry and ben & jerry to your template
2. upload template
3. select template
4. generate report with template

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

EDIT:
I've found this issue: #236, but it's closed and do not see a solution yet.

@TKSS3, thanks for the detailed issue. I need to look into this more. I thought we had fixed this, but it doesn't look like it. What version of Word are you using?

On the "C&C", I believe that is an image so the parser is going to ignore that on import.

@BuffaloWill, glad I can help. I'm using Word 2013.

And you are right with the "C&C". If I add ben&jerry and ben & jerry to the "super fancy flow chart", they both keep there ampersand.

I /think/ #482 should fix this, closing as it is tracked in #398
