Using % in text

[FukienMan]

I am trying to change what is said in the Welcome Guest message on main page. I know where to add it, but it does not like what I want. I want to use the statement, "20 % off if you register" HTML does like the use of the %. What do I need to type in order to use the % ?

Use for the % the, without the spaces:

& # 3 7 ;

Ajeh's suggestion is perfectly valid.
A double-percent-sign would also work, ie: %%

(If you want to understand the technical stuff behind it, this is because the PHP sprintf() function that's used there is using the % symbol as an instruction argument. The double %% tells it you want to actually use a common % sign ... ref: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.sprintf.php )
