| Hi, I'm creating an entity in my doc tree like so: entityPtr = xmlAddDocEntity(docPtr, name, XML_INTERNAL_GENERAL_ENTITY, publicID, systemID, (xmlChar *) "\"Strunk & White\"\'s book"); This does not quite work. I have turned on XML_PARSE_NOENT. The resulting document includes an entity definition like this: <!ENTITY myentity ""Strunk & White"'s book"> But when I use the entity is used later as an attribute value, I get an error, "xmlParseStringEntityRef: no name". This is caused by the "&" in the content string. If I say "&" instead, it works. What is the right function to use to convert an arbitrary string to a suitable form for passing to xmlAddDocEntity? xmlEncodeSpecialChars()? Are there any other escapes I need to do? I read something in the mailing list about CRLF issues… xmlEncodeSpecialChars() says I need to deallocate the resulting string. If I pass it to xmlAddDocEntity and it gets added to the document tree as an entity, is that still true, or will libxml deallocate it when the document is freed? If I still need to deallocate it myself, can I do that immediately, or do I have to wait until after I finish with the document? Thanks. |
