[vtkusers] [Issue N25869] Fw: URGENT ! Bug with QDomDocument::toString()

[Sebastien Auclair]

I think we've found the problem but i would like to get your confirmation...

As i explained before, we are using QDomDocument to save our data as an XML
tree.
But sometimes, the data we need to save is itself XML data.
We discovered that QDomDocument translate every values containing XML like
tags to something else so that it doesn't get confused when reading the file
back.
We think that this parsing\translation process is what is causing the
problem.

For exemple, if a create a value this way :
    QString value = "<key><StringType val=\"soldername\" /></key>";
    QDomText t = Document->createTextNode(value);         // Document is a
QDomDocument instance.

QDomDocument cannot let that happen cause it would corrupt the XML
structure. So it seams to parse this value to produce :
    &lt;key>&lt;StringType val=&quot;soldername&quot; />&lt;/key>

I hope it makes sense...
Can you confirm that this is our problem ?

Thanks !
