[erlang-questions] XMERL Atr String Escaping

[Vlad Dumitrescu]

Hi!

I guess that it's not escaped because it's not required to be. Only & and <
must be, according to the spec (http://www.w3.org/TR/xml11/#syntax). > must
be escaped in text when part of the string "]]>".

Do you have a parser that chokes on that?

regards,
Vlad
