Description Robert Klep 2001-09-04 06:08:49 UTC

> >         <bar xxx="b&amp;#38;b"/>

It should be "b&amp;b" or "b&#38;b" if the input is "b&amp;b" or "b&#38;b"
(the actual value is "b&b", that must be escaped)

See the mailinglist for more details.

Actually Thomas answer on this seems right:

 i.e. not a bug, a feature :-)

Okay there was an actual escaping bug. I fixed it in libxml CVS:

 thanks for the report !
