>             Project: Ivy
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Ant
>         Environment: MSWindows
>            Reporter: Vincent Belaïche

> I want to pass to some application the following string:\\
> {noformat}
> <link rel="icon" type="image/png" size="48x48" href="path/to/my/favion.png" />
> {noformat}
> So I use the following:\\
> {noformat} 
> <exec executable="some_executable.exe">
> <arg value="&lt;link rel=&quote;icon&quote; type=&quote;image/png&quote; size=&quote;48x48&quote; href=&quote;path/to/my/favion.png&quote; /&gt;"/>
> </exec>
> {noformat}
> However, the application gets this instead:\\
> {noformat}
> <link rel=icon type=image/png size=48x48 href=path/to/my/favion.png />
> {noformat}
> Double quotes were stripped by MSWindows because they were not properly escaped in the command line by Ant.
> I wrote a piece of code to do escaping of double quotes properly, and I will try to attach it to the issue later on if I can.
