Bad escape sequence in string

[cmpsoares91]

Hello,

I'm using this theme recently for my Hugo blog but in the home page ( https://www.cmpsoares.com ) I keep getting the following error from the google search console: Bad escape sequence in string

I'm quite new to all this scheme.org stuff so could someone enlighten and help me, please?

Kind regards,
Carlos Soares.

Hi, @cmpsoares91
For some reason of Hugo, & in the content won't be escaped as &.
I have fixed & of the subtitle in the home page in #79 .
But I can't fix the behavior of hugo --minify, which replaces some & with & leading to the invalid HTML checking.
Could you show more error information from the google search console?

Hello @dillonzq ,

Sorry for the delayed reply.

I've been looking further into it, and it seems that the template or Hugo itself is modifying the string in the page scheme to hexadecimal ASCII and Google says that their scheme parser is unable to parse it... more specifically the error: "Bad escape sequence in string".

So for the apostrophe example: it is expecting \' instead of \x27 and it happens on other similar occasions.

As is the example of: "datePublished":"2019-03-26T07:31:58\x2b00:00","dateModified":"2020-02-26T03:47:06\x2b00:00"

Many thanks,
Carlos Manuel Soares.

Hello @dillonzq ,

I think I might have a fix for you. But I need to wait for Google's re-index to be sure.
If it confirms the fix, I'll create a PR for you to validate.

So, I'll keep you posted.

Many thanks,
Carlos Manuel Soares.
