I'm trying to export XML from Excel. Some of my cells have tabs in them if the form of 	
but when they export to XML they become 	
.
I am able to fix this in SublimeText with a simple find/replace but it would be nice to just have it come out right. Is there a way to correct this?

is how a tab is written in XML. If it would be a real tab, it would be whitespace and ignored.
So the extract is correct, and your 'correction' would break it.

Im sorry im not sure what happened to my question. the stuff in quotes isn't right. what is happening is that where " " occurs in the spreadsheet "	" is generated on export. Sorry for the mixup. not sure why that happened. – jseymour186 Jun 16 '16 at 15:14

I see. My display adds another level of confusion... I understand your problem now. – Aganju Jun 16 '16 at 15:19
