Error description

• Problem Description:
  
  When we have any hyperlink in DOORS Object Text, that has the
  angular bracket, then the xml created by RPE or the internal
  Document Generation are getting corrupted.
  
  For example - https://?server?/?port?/web or
  https://www.google.co.in/??parameter?
  
  Steps to reproduce:
  
  1. Restore the module I have provided in DOORS 9.5.1.1
  2. Export the module using File ? Export ? Document Generation ?
  Export.
  3. You will observe that the report generation take a long time
  and at last you have to cancel the generation. This also seems
  to be a bug in the inbuilt report generation from DOORS.
  4. Navigate to ?C:\Users\?local Profile?\AppData\Local\Temp\RPE?
  or a similar temp location on your system and look for a file
  called ?rpe_sample_local.log?
  5. You will see an entry ?Error is: The value of attribute
  'href' must not contain the '?' character.?
  6. Open the file ?doorsXMLxxxx-xxx-xx-xxx.xml? inside
  ?\temp\tmpDOORS\?folder with a random numbering?\?. You will be
  able to observe the issue.
