For exporting a XML report in gsad the `print_entity_to_string` function is used. While reading the report entity from the response all XML entities are unescaped. Therefore when using the `print_entity_to_string` it may create invalid XML attributes. Therefore ensure that all invalid characters for attributes (like &) are escaped before writing the entity to the GString.
