Re: Translation of some special characters in their entities won't work. Do i sth. Wrong or is it a bug?

Hi Joerg,
that's the expected behavior; inside attribute values, apostroph 
(when the attribute value is delimited by quotes) and 'greater than' 
are not ambiguous symbols, and can be used directly.
Anyhow, why does this trouble you?

Hi Group,

Using:
Xerces-C 2.7.0 (downloaded today xerces-current.zip and compiled it fresh)
MSVC 7.1
Windows XP

Problem:
If i set a value of an attribute node with a string that contains special
characters like this:

...
Strcpy(key, "test");
strcpy(value, "Abc < def > ghi & jkl ' mno \" pqr <= stu >= vwx =< zzz =>
aaa");
...
void dom_SetAttr(DOMNode *node, char *key, char *value)
{
    DOMElement *el;

    // Do we have an element node?
    if(node->getNodeType() == DOM_ELEMENT_NODE)
    {
        // Yepp! Go ahead with setting the attribute
        el = (DOMElement *) node;
        el->setAttribute(X(key), X(value));
    }
}

and serialize the document afterwards, i expect to get the following
attribut value in the saved document file:

test="Abc &lt; def &gt; ghi &amp; jkl &apos; mno &quot; pqr &lt;= stu &gt;=
vwx =&lt; zzz =&gt; aaa"

But i get this:

Test="Abc &lt; def > ghi &amp; jkl ' mno &quot; pqr &lt;= stu >= vwx =&lt;
zzz => aaa"

You see, all special characters are translated in their entities except the
"greater than" sign and the apostroph.

Do i sth. wrong, or am i missing sth. (setting a feature or whatsoever) or
is this a bug?

I really would appreciate a hint or a point in the right direction how
making this work. I have nothing found on the list and/or web or docs.

Thanx in advance for your time and answers
