Including a URL with query string in an XML document

Question

So I have this XML doc:

    
        http://www.mysite.com/page?id=1         


        

Answer 1

As you provide it, the XML is well formed. You don't have anything to escape in it. Maybe you have encoding problems in your source file. For information, the 2 characters you must escape in XML are :

& in &
< in <

Characters you may escape in attributes values (depending on the syntax you use for attributes : attr='value' or attr="value") :

" in "
' in '

Depending on the context, the last character that can be escaped :

> in >
