StyleXML issue with & character and other chars needs to be escaped

[vvit]

Hi there. Thanks for the amazing library. I have a problem with & character in my strings. Not sure if it was discussed already.

When I use "Lorem ipsum".set(style: "name")

• everything is good.

But once I include & "Lorem & ipsum".set(style: "name")

• the whole style (kerning, line spacing) is broken.

Maybe I'm missing something? How to show the & character? Please advice. Thanks!

UPD: I think this is the corresponding output:

"Failed to generate attributed string from xml: XMLStringBuilderError(parserError: Error Domain=NSXMLParserErrorDomain Code=111 \"(null)\", line: 1, column: 8)"

ok, I think I can use & instead. Too bad I cannot do this via the style.textTransforms = [.custom()]

Thank you for your report. I've added the escapeString option to the XMLParsingOptions of the StyleXML object. By default it's enabled and replaces all encountered special characters not parsable by the internal NSXMLParser with the escaped string which avoid breaking the style. I'll release it with the next update.

We are facing the same issue...Our app is live and texts are very sensitive. So we hope we will get a response soon. Thanks in advance...
