Arghh, you're perfectly right,
~/XML -> cat tst
<TAG name="He said "Hello"">
</TAG>
~/XML -> ./tester tst
line 1: error: Couldn't find end of Start Tag
<TAG name="He said "Hello&
"
^
~/XML ->
it's a parser bug !
Seems to be in xmlParseAttValue(xmlParserCtxtPtr ctxt) the code doing
the entity handling there is probably broken, I will look at it,
thanks,
Daniel
