Whatever programming language you are using probably has a function that
makes "xml-safe" text. For example, I'm using Coldfusion to integrate with
Solr and all data is set like follows:
#xmlformat(usergeneratedcontent)#
My guess is PHP, ASP, etc. all have a function like this

Hi,
I want users to add content to my site using tinyMCE, which generates
HTML.
When I tried adding the data to Solr, Solr refused to add it (or at least
generated an error):

So I searched the archives to resolve this issue, since I didn't want to
strip out the HTML entirely. The solution proved to be to add <![CDATA[
around the HTML text, like so:
<add><doc>
<field name="text"><![CDATA[#{field.text}]]></field>
</add></doc>
This also drew my attention to another problem, characters like < > & are
all 'invalid' characters between xml tags. So that would mean, I have to
put
<
