Re: [xwiki-users] XAR Export fails - Invalid white space character (0x1) in text to output

I can no longer make a XAR export of our wiki. The essential error message in catalina.out seems to be "Invalid white space character (0x1) in text to output (in xml 1.1, could output as a character entity)" Alas, there is no information about which wiki page contains this invalid character. I can, of course, export parts of the wiki and repeat the process until I find the offending page, but I suspect there has got to be a more efficient way. The full, relevant section of catalina.out on our test server is included below. Thanks in advance for any tips!
