[Tclxml-users] why won't TclXML parse this?

[Todd B. <TBr...@ja...>]

I'm by no means an XML expert, so this may be a stupid
question, but I was wondering why the TclXML parser
chokes on something like this:

<foo bar='Black &amp; White'/>

The &amp; is giving ParseCommand fits.  If I take out
the &amp; then things work fine.

The trace I'm getting looks like this:

{invalid attribute list} around line 0
    while executing
"::sgml::Error {invalid attribute list} around line 0"
    ("uplevel" body line 1)
    invoked from within
"uplevel #0 $options(-errorcommand) [list $attr around line $state(line)]"
    (procedure "ParseEvent:ElementOpen" line 21)
    invoked from within
"ParseEvent:ElementOpen $tag $param options -empty 1"
    ("*,0,,/" arm line 5)
    invoked from within
"switch -glob -- [string length $tag],[regexp {^\?|!.*} $tag],$close,$empty
{

            0,0,, {
                # Ignore empty tag - dealt with non-normal mode above
          ..."
    (procedure "::sgml::parseEvent" line 118)



Possibly relevant version numbers from xml.tcl:

package provide xml 1.9

package require sgml 1.7
