TinyXML and preserving HTML Entities

Question

I'm using TinyXml to parse some XML that has some HTML Entities embedded in text nodes. I realize that TinyXML is just an XML parser, so I don't expect or even want TinyXML to do anything to the entities. In fact I want it to leave them alone.

If I have some XML like this:

...
<blah>&uuml;</blah>
...

Calling Value() on the TiXmlText instance I get:

"uuml;"

So TinyXml always seems to remove the ampersand. Is there any way I can get it to leave it alone so it comes out unchanged?

Appreciate any ideas..

If you look at the TinyXML documentation you'll see that it recognizes only five character entities (ü is not one of them), plus Unicode code point syntax   or  .
