Thanks David. That works for unicode characters but I also have data
like 'subject's' in my xml and this change outputs such values as
'subject's'. So I guess now the problem is for ascii characters in
data. Is it possible to preserve both?
well only by using something like lexev (see Martin's answer) because no
normal xml parser is going to report whether the input had a ' or an
' The whole point of the entities is that they are equivalent to
the characters. The parser will similarly not report other differences
in markup.
if you use xslt (or any xml based system) to copy
<foo
a = 'b'
></foo>
then it may come out as
<foo a="b"/>
You are not supposed to care. If you -do- care then perhaps you should
be processing the input as text using sed or perl or something rather
than using an xml pipeline that is designed to not notice these
syntactic differences.
