I'm trying to transform an XML document that contains elements like this one:

<url_download>www.example.com?var=1&a=3</url_download>

That isn't an XML document because it is not well formed.

But this is what I get from Saxon 9:

SXXP0003: Error reported by XML parser: The reference to entity "a" must end with the ';' delimiter.

I already tried to wrap the content of the element in CDATA, like this:

<url_download><![CDATA[www.example.com?var=1&a=3]]></url_download>

Unfortunately this doesn't work too.

When you say it doesn't work, in what way does it not work? It is now well-formed. And to confirm it, the XML processor I use does not report any errors.

An alternative would be:

  <url_download>www.example.com?var=1&amp;a=3</url_download>

I hope this helps.
