Description
This XML file :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <somemoredata>hello	world: Want something?</somemoredata>
Is properly parsed and somedata contains "hello\tworld\nWant something?", but this information is lost when writing:
<somemoredata>Hello world Want something?</somemoredata>
Reading that file will yield "Hello world Want something?", so the round trip ate these characters. Instead, write_xml should encode newlines and tabs according to http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/WD-xml-c14n-20000119.html#charescaping.
Boost.Graph's write_graphml() and read_graphml() are also affected by this problem as they reuse property_tree. The attached patch fix the problem for both libraries.
