maybe it's better not to pop
maybe it's better not to pop an error message but just ignore a wrong character.

Hi, thanks for a great job!
Hi,
thanks for a great job! However, let me report a first bug :-)
I created my own "Online Catalog" on my www server. There is a following line in my index.html (xml) file:
[catalog title="Smrt's books" location="http://***/books/list.xml" /]
On iPod go: "Online Catalog" -> "Smrt's books" and back (black arrow in the top left cornet "Online Catalog"). But the "Smrt's books" in the book folders list has changed to "My Books". I should note that, list.xml contains "My books" as a catalog title.
head of list.xml file:
[catalog title="My Books" description="something" maintainer="me@example.com"]
I also found that iStanza crasehes during a book opening when the part*.xhtml file in the epub file contains '&' character. Line like:
[p]something & something[/p]
It is probabli not a clear XHTML syntax but stanza shoud not crash.
The title of a catalog page
The title of a catalog page will trump the title of the link that is given for the catalog, so that is expected (although possibly confusing) behavior.
As for a lone "&" in the text, that isn't legal XHTML. You need to encode it as "&". I recommend running your XHTML files through a validator (such as the one at http://validator.w3.org) or using the epubcheck tool at http://code.google.com/p/epubcheck/ to ensure that you files are compatible. You are, of course, correct that Stanza shouldn't crash when reading these files, but should instead raise an proper error message about the file being invalid.
Subjects works great too!
Subjects works great too! Looks like some of the downloaded books already have this classification set up, but adding our own is perfect.
Haven't tried the URL thing, but looks handy for those who want to keep their books on their own site. Very sweet update, marc, thanks!
