Lightbulb Using {{quote...}} where text contains = sign


I just thought I'd post a quick FAQ/HOWTO for anyone else that runs into this. The Template:Quote in use on the PSU Wiki breaks (shows none of the text) if you have any equals sign in it. You'll end up with just '{{{1}}}' for the text portion of {{quote|text|source=|link=}}.

The workaround is to replace all '=' with

Code:
***61;
Oh ffs even code tags change that to ***. You want: <ampersand><hash>61<semi-colon>, i.e. an HTML entity. '=' is ASCII 61 decimal. With spaces insert:

Code:
& # 6 1 ;
