Sebb commented on LANG-1019:
----------------------------
That should work, but is not very efficient if the input contains multiple
single-quotes.
But this still seems out of scope. The escapeXml/Html methods are more
generally useful.
This can only be used in XPath where a funtion call (concat) is usable.

> 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
