Hi Carter
I believe that there are perl modules that just does exactly that, helping
you to escape the generated XML.
In the meantime you can test your output with the (deprecated but still
supported) HTML tag: xmp
so your code XML will look like:
<xmp>
<project name="foobar" default="xyz" basedir="." />
</xmp>

Thanks, Bruno.
I've been using XML::Writer to generate the XML and that works well.
Problem is I need to
display the generated XML code in a browser. To display the code
you generally need to
escape the special characters, like the '> < &' (>, < &) which
is where I have the problem.
XML::Writer creates well formed XML, which is great, but I need to
create XML for displaying
in a browser.
So, instead of generating this:
<project name="foobar" default="xyz" basedir="." />
I need this:
<project name="foobar" default="xyz" basedir="." />
I've looked at most of the modules you've listed but I haven't yet
found one that generates
escaped XML.
Guess I'll keep looking or write the XML myself.
Thanks again.
Carter.
