		+	===Ampersands and other characters do not render correctly on cover sheet===
		+
		+	Some characters, such as ampersands and copyright symbols, need to be quoted to render correctly in LaTeX. Try adding the following local subroutine to $coverpage->{getcontent}:
		+
		+	$coverpage->{get_content} = sub {
		+	[...]
		+	my $latex_encode = sub {
		+	my ($string) = @_;
		+	utf8::decode($string);
		+	return TeX::Encode::encode( "latex", $string );
		+	};
		+	[...]
		+	};
		+
		+	You can then use &$latex_encode() to wrapper the strings in %bits:
		+
		+	my %bits = (
		+	citation => &$latex_encode( EPrints::Utils::tree_to_utf8( $eprint->render_citation() ) ),
		+	[...]
