Summary: Fails to print ampersand
Initial Comment:
I can't figure out how to print a ampersand in a text node. This is probably
not a bug but a feature but it has been giving me a headeach.
### BEGIN CODE ###
Running the following program:
from xml.dom.minidom import *
from xml.dom.ext import *
doc = Document()
n = doc.createElement("aroot")
tn = doc.createTextNode(" ")
n.appendChild(tn)
doc.appendChild(n)
PrettyPrint(doc)
### END CODE ###
I want the output to be
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<aroot> </aroot>
but the actual output is:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<aroot>&nbsp;</aroot>
i.e. the & has been replaced by & which is not what I want.
