Re: [Haskell-cafe] HaXml: ampersand in attribute value

HaXml seems to choke on finding an ampersand in an attribute value. Is this normal? Is there any workaround?

Yes, it is expected. An ampersand indicates the start of a reference, e.g. < or  If there is no semicolon to indicate the end of the reference, then it is a parse error. The XML specification is quite clear that neither & nor < are valid standalone characters in an attribute value. Regards, Malcolm
