XHTML construction problem with ampersands / special characters 2003-12-23 - By andreas.hoenen@(protected)
Hello,
when constructing an XHTML document with Xerces-J, how to insert special
characters like " "? The problem is that the "&" character is replaced by
the """ sequence, thus " " is expanded to ""nbsp;".
There must be a way to insert special characters, but I have not been able to
figure it out.
Below is a simple test class and its output that demonstrate the problem.
Thanks, Andreas Hoenen
