Hi,

Broken again today at lineNumber: 29205; columnNumber: 23

The xml file should be linted/checked before uploading to avoid this common problem.

Cheers.

My bad. I put ‘&’ instead of ‘&’ … should be fixed now.

qk: It’s created on demand, but yeah it should be smarter. If you know php and can manage 10+ year old spaghetti, it would be great if [https://github.com/SpiritQuaddicted/Quaddicted-reviews/blob/master/quakeinjectorxml.php](https://github.com/SpiritQuaddicted/Quaddicted-reviews/blob/master/quakeinjectorxml.php) would automatically turn UTF-8 input from the db into properly encoded XML CDATA(?) stuff.  
I’d batch replace all the existing HTML entities in the DB then.

Hi,

Thanks @radiator for the quick fix.

@Spirit, sometimes I am afraid of touching some of my old code so I have to decline your invitation.

BTW, wouldn’t it be better to run a command line tool once the generation is done? This way you/I don’t have to eat such amount of old pasta and it is easy to check the return code to avoid uploading the xml to the site in case it is broken.

Cheers.
