9870	boost::property_tree::write_xml_element does not encode character before writing to attribute value	Alex K Yau <alex.yau@…>	Sebastian Redl	"The character in attribute value is not encoded in entity names and may output a quote "" to attribute value which escapes the attribute value and thus outputs a wrong value.

if the attribute stored in attribs is (""mystring"", ""\"""") under node x.
The expected output string is <x mystring=""&quot;""/> instead of <x mystring=""""""/>. The value is &quot;, but not null string and the quote in the tag should be balanced.

This can resolve by changing ""boost/property_tree/detail/xml_parser_write.hpp"" Line 118 to 119
