This is Lisbeth from Taiwan. I'm trying to convert a string to xml by using 'string'.encode(xml: :attr) but single quote doesn't escape as expected
Here's the spec shows which character needs to be escaped: https://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#dt-escape

and I found a more clean table in sitemap spec: https://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html#escaping
```
Ampersand 	& 	&
Single Quote 	' 	'
Double Quote 	" 	"
Greater Than 	> 	>
Less Than 	< 	&lt;
```

expected output:
> puts ':$+,;:=?@&\'"><'.encode(xml: :attr)
```
":$+,;:=?@&amp; **&apos;** &quot;&gt;&lt;"
```

real output:
> ```
> ":$+,;:=?@&amp; **'** &quot;&gt;&lt;"
> ```

Thanks for helping
