RSyncTextArea requires escaping entity within a GS2 format statement

[ak19]

RSyncTextArea requires escaping comma with entity in the following GS2 format statement: The assoc file demo collection on nzdl at ​http://www.nzdl.org/gsdlmod?a=p&p=about&c=assocext-e

contains the following format statement:

<td valign="top">[link][icon]link</td> <td valign="top">[ex.equivDocLink][ex.equivDocIcon][ex./equivDocLink]</td> <td valign="top">[highlight] {Or}{[dc.Title],[exp.Title],[ex.Title],Untitled} highlight{If}{[dc.Creator],: [sibling(All', '):dc.Creator]}</td>

The last line causes the displayed output to appear like:

greenstone1 '):dc.Creator]}

instead of

greenstone1 :pinky, lala

By converting the comma separator for siblings to its html entity equivalent of &#44;, things work as expected:

<td valign="top">[link][icon]link</td>

<td valign="top">[ex.equivDocLink][ex.equivDocIcon][ex./equivDocLink]</td>

<td valign="top">[highlight]

{Or}{[dc.Title],[exp.Title],[ex.Title],Untitled} highlight{If}{[dc.Creator],:[sibling(All'&#44; '):dc.Creator]}</td>

It doesn't have to do with the change to using RSyncTextarea for the format statements, since by just modifying the collect.cfg file by hand (and therefore without GLI), the comma in the sibling statement produces the same erroneous output.

Separators like colon and hyphen are not a problem, but the comma is.

Perhaps this is a case of where the About page is not sufficiently formatted: the collect.cfg file that the nzdl collection links to, escapes the comma with a backslash:

highlight{If}{[dc.Creator],: <i>[sibling(All\'\, \'):dc.Creator]</i>}</td>

(This works in GLI and the surrounding single quotes are automatically escaped in the collect.cfg when I try the same thing in GLI.)
