[wp-hackers] Proposed: the_category() - improved separator flexibilty

[BoBB]

The version of wordpress I have, 1.2.1(but also worked with 1.2) can
already do that, I use the following code ...

<?php the_category(' &amp; '); ?>

and it works fine, always has. or in addition you could do

<?php the_category('&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;'); ?>
