My articles’s front matter may contain categories with names such as “A & B”: categories: ["A & B", "C"] Which causes Hugo to create folders with double dashes: public/categories/a--b This behavior is not present if the categories contain spaces or dashes: categories: ["A B"] public/categories…

Categories with '&' chars being converted to folders and links with double dashes. How to fix it?
