[basex-talk] Fwd: Preventing unescaping of entities

[Christian Grün]

Hi James,

Beforehand: Please send your mails to
basex-talk@mailman.uni-konstanz.de; otherwise, they won't be directed
to everyone.

Currently, there is no way to prevent the unescaping the entities (the
XML and XQuery specifications do not foresee this). One way to enforce
the escaping of certain Unicode characters could be to provide
character maps when serializing data [2].
