I’m having a problem finding out how to parse literal characters into a
new tag using rexml. I’m creating an excel xml document using rexml:
xml.instruct! :xml, :version=>“1.0”, :encoding=>“UTF-8”
In the document, I’m creating a “Data” tag, and parsing the content of
the variable “content_line” in it:
xml.Data content_line, ‘ss:Type’ => ‘String’
The thing is that the data in “content_line” contains simple tags like
and . I want to preserve this, as excel can read these
tags out and format the document. However, the output is as follows:
<u>
Is there any way I can prevent this encoding from happening? So far I
was not able to find the answer.
Thank you, Onno
