What type is a? What is tpath? Please post a complete self-contained example that actually runs and shows your problem. > I'm wondering if there's a process that can be used within the > toString() or do you really have to wrap each xpath/toString with > a unescape() kind of process to convert htmlentities to the > requisite chars. Why are you using toString? I can't tell if you want a text string or HTML - if you want HTML then you should be fine with the & - if you want text, then shouldn't the <tags> be a bigger problem than the entity? _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
