Topic: Quotes not being escaped

Hi,

I'm about to publish an implementation guide, in which I supply XML examples. These show up in the generated html (Profile -> Examples -> XML tab). So far so good. Each example is enriched with a narrative when I run the IG publisher. However, the generated JSON example turns out invalid because the namespace quotes are not escaped. Here's an example:

<Communication xmlns="http://hl7.org/fhir">
<id value="123"/>
<meta>
<profile value="http://mycompany.com/message"/>
</meta>
<text>
<status value="generated"/>
<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"><p>...</div>
</text>...

which causes this JSON example:

{
"resourceType" : "Communication",
"id" : "123",
"meta" : {
"profile" : [
"http://mycompany.com/message"
]
},
"text" : {
"status" : "generated",
"div" : "<div xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">...</div>"
}...

As you can see, the quotes surrounding the www.w3.org... namespace are not escaped in the JSON example, and thereby the example is not valid. Any input on how to fix this?

Thanks,
Ole Hedegaard

The problem is more subtle. The * displayed* json in [SD].json.html will not show the escapes since they are read as escapes - but download the artifact and you will see something like:

{
  "resourceType": "StructureDefinition",
  "id": "extension-blah",
  "text": {
    "status": "generated",
    "div": "<div xmlns=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml\"><table border=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"border: 0px #F0F0F0 solid; font-size: 11px; font-family: verdana; vertical-align: top;\"><tr style=\"border: 1px #F0F0F0 solid; font-size: 11px; font-family: verdana; vertical-align: top;\"><th style=\"vertical-align: top; text-align : left; background-color: white; border: 0px #F0F0F0 solid; padding:0px 4px 0px 4px\" class=\"hierarchy\"><a href=\"http://build.fhir.org/formats.html#table\" title=\"The logical name of the element\">Name</a></th><th style=\"vertical-align: top; text-align : left; background-color: white; border: 0px #F0F0F0 solid; padding:0px 4px 0px 4px\" class=\"hierarchy\"><a href=\"http://build.fhir.org/formats.html#table\" title=\"Information about the use of the element\">Flags</a></th><th
