tsf_send_message: Special characters in messages

Related products: Software Factory

Currently text parsed to the parameter is handled straight as given. 
In some cases when you would show there some text like name of a company having special characters, then the message is not coming properly.

When for example giving the input ‘<text>ROLLER Gmbh & Co. KG</text>, then the message comes incorrect showing like:



To make it correct, you have to replace the '&’ with '&amp;’ before parsing it to tsf_send_message.
Would be good if these special characters are handled within the tsf_send_message. Otherwise you have to implement a custom procedure as wrapper to do the replacement

This also applies to the Running tasks screen, when using tsf_send_progress.

This is because the message is an XML string and "&" is an invalid character in XML. It should work if you use "&amp;" instead. 

Other invalid characters are: < (&lt;), > (&gt;), " (&quot;) and ' (&apos;)
