[New-bugs-announce] [issue37374] Minidom does not have to escape quote inside text segments

[Mitar]

New submission from Mitar <mmitar at gmail.com>:

I am using Minidom to pretty-print XML. But currently if there is a quote inside a text segment it escapes it to "

To my understanding this is unnecessary if all other symbols are escaped. This escaping makes it really ugly and defeats the purpose of me using Minidom for pretty-printing XML.
