Hello,

I have a little problem and I hope you can help me.

I use the transformer xmlTemplater. It works fine. But there is one problem:

If I insert an attribute with "<" or ">", the Transformer will change it in "lt&" or "gt&".

Is there any option, that the transfomer doesn't change the attribute?

That is by by design, as the XML specification does not allow you to use characters in your values that can lead to them being confused with XML tags.
