 * I have noticed since upgrading to the latest version of Contact Form 7 that it
   generates a lot of invalid HTML.
 *     ```
       an attribute value must be a literal unless it contains only name characters
       <p><label for=\"your-name\"><em>Name<span> *</span></em></label>
   
       character "\" is not allowed in the value of attribute "for"
       <p><label for=\"your-name\"><em>Name<span> *</span></em></label>
       ```
   
 * Please can you tell me, is anyone else seeing this?
 * Thank you in advance
    Hal

 * OK, there must have been a change in one of the Contact Form 7 upgrades that 
   escapes quotes used in the form configuration. Hence, now I can change <label
   for=\”your-name\”> to <label for=”your-name”> and it works without problems.
 * Thanks for this!
