Gobo, XM_CALLBACKS on_content and special characters

Hello,

I am using a descendent of XM_CALLBACKS to convert my XML document into
a HTML document.  Here is my code I am using to do this:

local
	retried: BOOLEAN
	l_string: STRING
	l_parser: XM_EIFFEL_PARSER
	l_html_filter: HTML_FILTER
do
	if not retried then
		l_string := a_doc.text.twin
		if not l_string.is_empty then

			create l_html_filter.make
			l_html_filter.set_filename (a_doc.name)
			l_html_filter.clear
			create l_parser.make
			l_parser.set_callbacks (l_html_filter)
			l_parser.set_string_mode_ascii
			l_parser.parse_from_string (l_string)
			check
				ok_parsing: l_parser.is_correct
			end
			Result := l_html_filter.output_string.twin
		end
	else
		...
	end
end

My question is, that when I have an XML document that contains escape
characters in the tag content, i.e.

<my_tag>if 4 &lt; 5</my_tag>

then what should I expect from Gobo in the 'on_content' callback of
XM_CALLBACKS?  I seem to be getting nothing (it aborts) and the only way
I have found to get it to work so far is also to escape the ampersand by
changing the above into:

<my_tag>if 4 &amp;lt; 5</my_tag>

Of course I don't want to this in all my documents.  Maybe I am doing
this all wrong anyway, in which case any suggestions are appreciated for
an improvement.

Thanks in advance,

Neil
