static String alma::acs::util::XmlNormalizer::normalizeXMLEmbeddedTextOnly

(

String

xmlString

)

[inline, static]

Normalizes any text in between quotes ("text") or text given as character data of mixed-content elements, all inside xmlString. Other text is left untouched. This method can be used to fix illegal text in an unparsable XML document, without destroying the XML markup itself.

Note that some rather simple parsing is used, and that there may be cases in which the result is undesirable. Thus this method should only be used as a fallback solution when the XML string can not be parsed with a regular XML parser.

Parameters:

xmlString

Returns:

static String alma::acs::util::XmlNormalizer::translate

(

char

ch

)

Parameters:

ch

Returns:

The corresponding XML representation such as "&amp;lt;" for a '<'.
