[xml] Does libxml2 always does character entity substitution for attribute value?

[BALASAHEB SALUNKE <bg salunke09 gmail com>]

Hello,

I want to read the content of HTML file as it is. i.e It should not substitute entity references in attribute value.

I'm using xmlGetProp() API to read the content of attribute. However I'm not getting original value of attribute.

Even I tried to retrieve the content of attribute using "xmlAttrPtr->children->content", but still it return entity substituted data.

e.g. I have following HTML data to parse:

char * data = "" var =&quot;myvar&quot;;' class=\"123\" damn=\"345\"></body></html>"

Now If I try to parse above data I'm getting following attribute value data:

attribute name: onload

attribute value: self.focus(); var ="myvar";    => Here libxml2 should return attribute value :  self.focus(); var =&quot;myvar&quot;;

attribute name: class

attribute value: 123

attribute name: damn

attribute value: 345

Do you How to disable entity substitution in attribute value during reading attribute value?

Thanks and Regards,
Bala
