Cannot parse XML of data set description about openml HOT 4 CLOSED

Jan reported some problems with '&' earlier this week. Possibly there are
still some characters that XML doesn't like and that need to be filtered
out by the API. We'll take a look at it on Monday.

Hi,

the problem seems to be the comments in tag oml:description.
Probably because there can be any kind of weird chars in there - and
apparently there already are.

R does not parse the whole XML at all, but tells me:

xmlParseEntityRef: no name
xmlParseEntityRef: no name
xmlParseEntityRef: no name
Error: 1: xmlParseEntityRef: no name

If I nearly completely remove the contents of oml:description I can parse
again, so the problem is definitely located there.

Any ideas?

I don't know enough about XML, but maybe you have to escape them?

Is this still an issue for you, bernd? This should have been fixed by now.

I dont see this any. Probably very outdated. Closing.
