[GRASS-dev] Ampersand and required behavior of module option's guisection

[Vaclav Petras]

Hi,


I've noticed that the ampersand character is interpreted strangely when it
is in the `guisection` property of module option, e.g.:


#% guisection: Files & format


is added for the following options in the m.proj module


G_OPT_F_INPUT

G_OPT_F_OUTPUT

G_OPT_F_SEP


However, the resulting section in the wxGUI generated module form/dialog is
`Files format`. Is & interpreted in some special way, e.g. for translation?
I was not exploring this more since the number of involved parts is high
and I hope that someone might have better overview.


Moreover, if you look at the generated form you can see that `input` is
still in required, although G_OPT_F_INPUT has guisection specified. This
seems that unless you explicitly specify `required: no` guisection is
ignored.


I must say that I was not even trying to find some documentation for this
since these things are usually under-documented. Thus I don't know if this
behavior is bug or a feature.
