TBX: 0.7.7, allow XML special characters entities in word or structure properties in all XML based import modules

Target version:TXM 0.7.8

Description

Currently, the Compiler translates any XML entities found in XML attribute values like '<', '"' or '&' to the native character (like '<', '"' or '&') which breaks the CWB syntax.

Note: those entities are built from the sources by previous steps of the import process. If the entities are already present in the sources, they pass to the CWB format without translation and the import is OK.

Solution

  • a) keep the entities in the CWB output
  • b) change CWB syntax to allow < (change
    • MD: the "-x" option is already set
    • MD: all TXM 0.7.8 import modules now write "&"s and "<"s

What about '"' ?
  • it is an XML reserved character
  • it is sensible to encode XML element attributes
