I am trying to use some xml with the markup values of the xml'ish

When setting the following property
<property name="MyString" value="<CustomProps><UseSSO
vt='11'>0</UseSSO><Password vt='8'
>hello</Password><UseProxy vt='11'>0</UseProxy>" />
<echo message="${MyString}" />
Returns:
[echo] <CustomProps><UseSSO vt='11'>0</UseSSO><Password vt='8'
>hello</Password><UseProxy vt='11'>0</UseProxy>
I want:
[echo] <CustomProps><UseSSO
vt='11'>0</UseSSO><Password vt='8'
>hello</Password><UseProxy vt='11'>0</UseProxy>
This is an artifact of using XML as the underlying language for NAnt.
The XML parser does the translation before NAnt ever sees it, so NAnt
never gets to see the & entities.
Try adding an extra indirection by replacing each of your "&" with &,
e.g.
<property name="MyString"
value="&lt;CustomProps&gt;&lt;... " />
Obviously this gets tedious. You may be better off just storing the
data in a file, without any entity references. If you need to
manipulate the data, filterchain and the xmlpeek/xmlpoke operations are
available and are sufficient for easy stuff.
