Summary: XML entity references are not encoded
Initial Comment:
I have a record in my database which has an ampersand character '&' in it. Building the report seems to go ok, but when parsing the report for printing, it throws an exception. If I manually change the & to & in the .prp file, it parses ok.
I think the solution is to make sure that the XML is correctly escaped, and I'm attaching a patch which does that.
The exception which got thrown in the parser when generating the pdf:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "PythonReports/pdf.py", line 435, in ?

File "PythonReports/pdf.py", line 432, in run
write(_printout, _pdf)
File "PythonReports/pdf.py", line 420, in write
PdfWriter(report).write(filepath)
File "PythonReports/pdf.py", line 68, in __init__
self.report = prp.load(report)

File "<string>", line 32, in parse
SyntaxError: not well-formed (invalid token): line 3869, column 38
Line 3869 in the .prp was a <data> element which contained the '&' in it.
