Subject: & expands once more everytime a MiniDocument is modified.
If one inserts text in an element that includes a '&' symbol, the 'toFile' operation will substitute this symbol with the '&amp;' equivalent. The problem comes from the fact that doing another fromFile(), toFile() cycle with this XML document will then make the symbol appear as '&amp;amp;', just as if the encoder didn't noticed it was already subsituted. Same occurs with '<' and '>' which became &amp;lt; after a few modifications, and i fear accentuated characters will suffer the same problem.

(( i add a 'space' between '&' and 'amp;' so that the displayer doesn't alter my report )) Show quoted text

[guest - Mon Nov 3 08:15:02 2003]: okay. My fault. Everything works correctly if i do $XML::Mini::AutoEscapeEntities=0; $meta->fromFile("MyFile.xml"); $XML::Mini::AutoEscapeEntities=1; however, i wonder whether it wouldn't be a good idea to disable the 'auto-escaping' when a file is loaded.
