[amihaiemil]

@portlek 5.1.3 is out, with the workaround. I will fix this Issue, probably in the weekend, with the correct, escaping solution.

[amihaiemil]

@portlek I’m pretty sure the problem is here. Everything after & gets cut off – the intent was to eliminate aliases and achors (which are not yet supported).

I’ll fix it asap.
