Handling '&' in the vocabulary

[olufine]

Hi, We have vocabularies in which '&' is included in some terms (example Rythm & blues).
When exporting such vocabularies to SKOS, we see that accurrences of '&' are not handled cosistantly, which sometimes cause problems during further processing of the SKOS export.
As far as I understand, the editors in TematTres handle '&' differently:

• When using Add term from the top menu, the editor disregards '&' altogether. For example: Writing "Trommis & bassist" in that editor just ignores '&' and the term displayed is "Trommis bassist". Likewise, this is exported as "Trommis bassist" in skos
• When using "Add subordinate term" or "Add alternative term" from the term page menue, '&' seems to be encoded correctly. For example: Writing "Test & test" here shows the whole phrase. And the SKOS export renders this correctly as Test & test, see skos export below:

<skos:Concept rdf:about="http://k8s.stage.nb.no/tematres/musikk/578"> <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="nb">**Trommis bassist**</skos:prefLabel> <skos:altLabel xml:lang="nb">mertest &amp; test</skos:altLabel> <skos:inScheme rdf:resource="http://k8s.stage.nb.no/tematres/musikk"/> <skos:narrower rdf:resource="http://k8s.stage.nb.no/tematres/musikk/579"/> <skos:narrower rdf:resource="http://k8s.stage.nb.no/tematres/musikk/580"/> <dct:created>2026-02-04 15:58:30</dct:created> <dct:modified>2026-02-04 16:17:18</dct:modified> </skos:Concept> <skos:Concept rdf:about="http://k8s.stage.nb.no/tematres/musikk/579"> <skos:prefLabel xml:lang="nb">**Test &amp; test**</skos:prefLabel> <skos:inScheme rdf:resource="http://k8s.stage.nb.no/tematres/musikk"/> <skos:broader rdf:resource="http://k8s.stage.nb.no/tematres/musikk/578"/> <dct:created>2026-02-04 16:16:36</dct:created> </skos:Concept>
I hope you'll look into this and correct the "Add term" editor.
