Description

Hello,
There is a contradiction: you can save '(' or ')' in an xml file, but not load it.

ofXml xml;
xml.appendChild("ChildName").setAttribute("value(x1000)", 1000);
xml.save("FileName.xml");
xml.load("FileName.xml");

wouldn’t load. The save is perfectly fine though.

It seems that the parenthesis are the problem “value(x1000)”.

Thank you
