Link field type displaying '&' as '&amp;' When I have a Link title field populated with '&amp;' it will be displayed as '&amp;' when rendered.

I have done a fair share of google searching but haven't quite nailed it down.

I was thinking this was a start in the right direction https://stackoverflow.com/a/5019423

Any hints?
Keep in mind l() passes the text through check_plain which escapes the HTML characters for display.

So, there's no need to double escape the link with another check_plain later.

Pass the raw text, including the single "&amp;" through as the link text and output it as such, that way it should be fine.
