Re: SAX XML Parsing Error code 6

[Vernon Hamberg <vhamberg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can google for "XML entities" - there are 5 - quot, amp, apos, lt, 
and gt - they are rendered in a document in the format &name;

These characters all have special meaning in XML, so they cannot be on 
their own in a string, then need either to be rendered using the entity 
or in Unicode code point - for example, quot is U+0022, so you put &# 
before 0022 and ; after it - see one of the articles in that google 
search for more information.
