Correcting an XML document with functionality "recover".
by Schimon Jehudah Dec. 19, 2025

Dec. 19, 2025

Greetings. I have an XML document which was produced by software Jekyll. The problem is at column 698 of row 34. There is character "&" instead of characters "&". However, unless I am doing something incorrectly, LXML removes sign ampersand instead of realizing it in a valid form of XML. import lxml.etree as ET corrector = ET.XMLParser(recover=True) ET.parse(BytesIO(content.encode()), corrector) https://git.xmpp-it.net/sch/Slixfeed/src/branch/master/src/slixfeed/utility… Please advise. Kind regards, Schimon

A suposed issue with XSLT processor
by Schimon Jehudah Dec. 2, 2025

Dec. 2, 2025

Greetings. I am working on a document uniformication framework, and it seems that the XSLT processor of lxml works differently than command xsltproc of libxslt. def process(data: ET._Element, stylesheet: ET._Element) -> ET._XSLTResultTree: """Process an XML document by a specified XSLT stylesheet filename.""" transform = ET.XSLT(stylesheet) newdom = transform(data) return newdom I am not sure whether my statement could be reasonable or not. Please advise. Kind regards, Schimon
