Removing "|amp" from tpl file
 

I have the trademark symbol used on several products. They are entered as Productname™ and the trademark works fine except when it shows up in the related product template.

In related_product.tpl at the end of line 8 where the related product list is generated, there is this bit of code:

{$product_links[cat_num].product|amp}

Everything seems to work fine if I remove the "|amp" from the above code.

Can someone tell me why I cannot remove this without issue or why it is there?

Thank you.

amp converts "&" to "&"
You can remove it if you want to. It will affect only the code validation
