We are using CppUnit for testing the code and xUnit plugin has been working great to capture and report the results...

However, our Unittest just recently failed with a failure message that causes xUnit to ignore it as "invalid" and it seems as though the test hasn't run.

CppUnit outputs an XML file and in the <Message> section, if the content of the failure message contains either "&&" or "<" it causes the XML file to be considered invalid. There are probably other character strings that will cause this invalid issue, but these are the ones I had in my test.

Is there a way to escape these special characters? I tried putting it in quotes or using a backslash...neither worked.
