Hi j j,
When your XML contains   color="id=&quot;43&quot;"
then the name of the attribute is "color" and the value of the
attribute is the following seven characters.

i d = " 4 3 "

Since this is now a C string, not XML source, you get the value that
&quot; represents, i.e. a double-quote character. It is
xmlParseChunk's job to make this transformation.

Thanks for quick reply but I would like the quotes in an attribute value not to be transformed to: "

I would like it to be:

id=&quot;43&quot;

How can I tell xmlParseChunk libxml2 not to transform it to: "

thanks for an aswer
