Subject: xml.el incorrectly decodes entities
Date: Fri, 03 Jan 2003 15:44:18 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87n0mhkix9.fsf@mah.mcdermott.com> (raw)
xml.el incorrectly decodes entities. It should decode & last so
that doubly-encoded entities are decoded correctly. (e.g. "&gt;"
should decode to ">", not ">").
