So the reason the code in the forum is getting parsed is the same reason that the code is being parsed in game. They use the same text software. The devs have mentioned that they would like to update these to prevent such problems, among other, but they are not sure when they will be able to do so. However, I find it strange that you were unable to find any &# in the macro. My guess is that when you copied it in to the Notepad++ the parsing had already been finished and the HTML encoded values where changed. As mentioned above, the way to save these encoded values is to nest the values behind further encoding; specifically by encoding the & with &. You can add multiple layers to this especially for the forums here. For example to get the & to show here I have to put & Try this macro, I had it saved from the last time I helped someone with it. @{selected|wtype}&{template:simple} @{selected|rtype}?{Save
