Would be great to create a method that would escape a string for XPath. It is a well known problem that XPath doesn't have a mechanism for quotes escaping. See for example http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14822153/escape-single-quote-in-xpath-with-nokogiri A very good workaround suggested here https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51785 Would be great to add a method to StringEscapeUtils -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
