%20 in XML = errors?

[lewisfar]

Hi,

I generated a sitemap and then tried to get it validated  ([ External links are visible to forum administrators only ] )

But when I tried to validate it a couple of parsers said having a %20 in the URL was an error.

Should I go thru and remove them and substitute spaces?

Thanks

Lewis

You should use official validation service for that: [ External links are visible to logged in users only ] (or https://www.xml-sitemaps.com/validate-xml-sitemap.html).
Also, just submit sitemap to Google to see that it's processed without errors.
