The function of this method is to conveniently ensure that the text you're writing does not break or invalidate your HTML/XHTML/XML.
E.g. convert "x <= y" to "x <= y" so that an XML processor can process it (otherwise it could just throw an error). However, if you converted "two lines" to "two <br> lines" or "two <br/> lines" it could break some folks XML as <br> may not be a valid tag. You should look elsewhere for HTML specific tools. I don't know of any I'm afraid. Andy. > -----Original Message----- > From: Serge A.
