Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["GW Brown, Information Systems and Computing" <>]

Hi Loris,

I think I've fixed this now - in CVS. The code which exports group and stem 
attributes was 'escaping' the output, but the source name was not being 
escaped.

I modified:
        private void _writeSubjectSourceMetaData(Source sa)
in XmlExporter so that name is escaped - id was escaped already.

this.xml.internal_puts("name=" + Quote.single( XML.escape(sa.getName()) ) 
);

Out of interest, what did you have in sources.xml - ä or ä? When I 
tried ä SourceManager would not parse sources.xml.
