Re: Doubt in xmlDocDumpFormatMemoryEnc

Hi Bahrath,

As supposed Michael, I think this is not the good list for this question 
which has nothing to do with XML-Schema.
I don't know but I guess there should be a specific list on libxml, 
where you could get a precise answer.

Anyway, as far as XML is concerned  : what you are getting here ( & 
< > ...) are XML entities which is a way to format those specials 
characters in XML.
Some of those characters (&, <) are actually forbiden in a XML file 
(they would create confusion : "<" is for opening a tag, & is for 
entities...).
I suggest you have a look on the w3c XML recommendation 
"http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charencoding"
Any XML Tools will be aware of this and will convert back those entities 
to characters if necessary. So don't worry about that, this is actually 
normal when using XML.

Under Jedit the XML plugin propose to convert entities to characters and 
vice versa if you like.

But well, I already said to much things unrelated to schema here...

Regards,

Matthieu Ricaud-Dussarget.
