A couple of minor issues with story templates:
-if a rollable table field has an ampersand (&) in it, it will throw an error when used in a story template ([ERROR] FormattedText SentValue XML Error: An error occurred while parsing EntityName Line 1, position 107.)
-when using [?tablename] to hide the table output to be used later, it will still output links where [?tablename] was.

Yep, their are a handful of characters that are considered control characters in XML and you can't use them. There's a post or two around here detailing them, and maybe in the wiki, but can't find them at the moment.

Note that I'm not talking about table names or anything, this is literally just content within the cells. This should be escaped or not even parsed, and definitely shouldn't throw a console error when generating a story from a template.
