[jdom-interest] [Fwd: Escaping ampersand left in output from XMLOutputter]

[Scott Yeadon]

Sorry I tell a lie, it's the w3c.dom APIs which are doing this...(but if 
this is also true of JDOM's XMLOutputter, the question still stands!

=================
Hi,

When writing out a file using the XMLOutputter, character entities are 
left escaped. Is this behaviour intentional? I would have thought this 
would only be required for internal processing and the ampersand entity, 
when affixed to a character entity, should be de-escaped when output. 
For example, I currently get 两 in my output instead of 
两 which browsers do not understand. Is there a way of turning 
this behaviour off, or does anyone know the appropriate way to handle 
this in JDOM (I'd rather not do a post-process!)?

Thanks.

Scott.
