Hi Karl,
You're not parsing the context_string as XML or HTML; so lxml will be thinking
its just some text that looks horribly like XML but is not XML and therefore
needs to be escaped to be included within XML.
The following:
import lxml.etree as etree
content_text = '<p>line one</p><p>line two</p>'
en_note_el = etree.XML(f'<en-note>{content_text}</en-note>')
en_note_doctype = '<!DOCTYPE en-note SYSTEM
"http://xml.evernote.com/pub/enml2.dtd";>'
en_note_str = etree.tostring(en_note_el, encoding='UTF-8', method="xml",
xml_declaration=True,
pretty_print=False, standalone=False,
doctype=en_note_doctype)
content_el = etree.Element('content')
content_el.text = etree.CDATA(en_note_str)
print(etree.tostring(content_el).decode('utf8'))
Produces the output:
<content><![CDATA[<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' standalone='no'?>
<!DOCTYPE en-note SYSTEM "http://xml.evernote.com/pub/enml2.dtd";>
<en-note><p>line one</p><p>line two</p></en-note>]]></content>
Which would expect is what you're after?
Cheers,
aid
