Thanks for your response again.

Though I did not understand your reply completely, I think you have send us the commands that I can use to eliminate those special characters in the XML file.

Means, I need to identified the infected files and run these commands on those files and then use it for further processing. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

But, I'm really interested in knowing the root cause for this problem. Could you please explain us, why this issue is occurring? Is there anything that I need to take care while generating these xml files? I'm confused because this issue is not common across all the files.. Only 2 out of hundreds of files (that I have created in the past) have this issue...

Thanks

Locale::Po4a::Guide(3)					User Contributed Perl Documentation				    Locale::Po4a::Guide(3)

NAME

       Locale::Po4a::Guide - convert Guide XML documents from/to PO files

DESCRIPTION

       The po4a (PO for anything) project goal is to ease translations (and more interestingly, the maintenance of translations) using gettext
       tools on areas where they were not expected like documentation.

       Locale::Po4a::Guide is a module to help in the translation of the Gentoo Linux documentation in the Guide XML format into other [human]
       languages.

       This format is documented here: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/xml-guide.xml

STATUS OF THIS MODULE

       This module is fully functional, as it relies in the Locale::Po4a::Xml module. This only defines the translatable tags and attributes.

       The only known issue is that it doesn't include files with the <include href="..."> tag, but you can translate all those files alone, and
       it's usually better to have them separated.
