Re: Encoding Question

[Bryan Wilcox]

That is exactly what I mean.  I have created a text node named error.  It has the content I have an <error> in my document.  The file is created by serializing data out using a DOMWriter.  It is read in using a validating DOMBuilder which validates against our schema.  We just weren't sure that it did the textual replacement that you alluded to below where < becomes &lt; and > becomes &gt;  Is it possible for you to point out to me in either the code or documentation where these "conversions" or "cannonicalizations" are done when you are using DOMWriter?  I would like to see what characters are converted by the code.

 

Thanks,
Bryan

This shouldn't even parse; unless you are saying that you have created a
DOMText node with the content " I have an in my document", then you
serialized using DOMWriter, then parsed it with validation turned on. In
this case, the serialization has done the right thing, and the saved XML
file really contains

I have an <error> in my document
