hi there, i'm quite confused cause putting and & into the text field of an element causes the & to be converted to &? example:
from lxml import etree root = etree.Element('test') root.text = '&' print(etree.tostring(root)) b'<test>&</test>'
how would I turn that off? I suppose thats not a bug... its a feature ^^ btw. is there any way to disable lxml.html.parse(...) to convert my &#<number>; into the true unicode chars? i have: python3.2 from the ubuntu 11.04 repo lxml from the ubuntu 11.04 repo for python3 plan_rich

"Naked" ampersands are not allowed in XML text. '&' is the "escaped" spelling.

then how would i put something like Ü into my xml file? cause it converts it to Ü all the time. (not just 220) plan_rich Am 02.06.11 03:01, schrieb Tres Seaver:

You need to add the equivalent unicode character to the tree (lxml will only decode the input when parsing.) For Ü that would be u''\u00dc" (as 220 in decimal is dc in hexidecimal). Character references are converted as part of parsing a document by lxml. If you want them in your output then you must serialise the document in an encoding that cannot natively represent those characters, e.g. ascii, using etree.tostring(document, encoding="ascii"). You can get the same effect by calling .encode('ascii', 'xmlcharrefreplace') on the equivalent unicode. Laurence
