Use of the "&" character in the content of a Node

Hi,

I've a question about the "&" character.

  nodePtr = xmlNewNode(NULL, "node");
  if (nodePtr)
  {
    xmlNodeSetContent(nodePtr, "111&222");
  }

At this point, the content of the node has been set to
"111"

If I put the ampersand as &, the resulting node
content is "111&222"

Which is the correct way to put the content
"111&222" in the node? I mean, to get the
following result:

<node>111&222</node>

I want to be able to set it, and get it back later.

Do I have to create a new text node (xmlNewText) instead of
using xmlNewNode? 

Thanks in advance for your help,

Unai Astorquiza

That is malformed XML. It must be
`<node>111&amp;222</node>`.

    nodePtr = xmlNewNode(NULL, "node");
    if (nodePtr)
    {
        xmlNodeAddContent(nodePtr,
"111&222");
    }

Err, they’re probably both equally wrong. I *think* you
want
this:

    nodePtr = xmlNewNode(NULL, "node");
    textPtr = xmlNewText("111&222");
    if (nodePtr && textPtr)
    {
        xmlAddChild(nodePtr, textPtr);
    }

But I can’t check right now.

In any case, the correct solution will take the string
"111&222"
and automatically put the properly escaped
"111&amp;222" into the
text node.
