Add support for pre-defined "character entities" about pugixml HOT 4 CLOSED

Character entities should not get processed in a CDATA section:

Within a CDATA section, only the CDEnd string is recognized as markup, so that left angle brackets and ampersands may occur in their literal form; they need not (and cannot) be escaped using " < " and " & ". CDATA sections cannot nest.

Thanks for your clarification! It was my fault. You can close this issue now.

Thanks!

If you really need to work with CDATA sections with character entities, you can write a function to unescape it:

std::string parseEscapes(const char* value)
{
    pugi::xml_document doc;
    if (!doc.load_string(value, pugi::parse_fragment | pugi::parse_escapes)) return value;

    return doc.text().as_string();
}

Thanks! It is needed by me!

Many many Thanks!!!
