Use xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant() [1] to encode entities in a string. Like this:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <libxml/parser.h>
#include <libxml/entities.h>
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
LIBXML_TEST_VERSION
const xmlChar *str = "string with < and > in it";
const xmlChar *xml = "<foo />";
xmlDoc *doc = xmlReadMemory(xml, 8, "xml", "UTF-8", 0);
xmlChar *safe_str = xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant(doc, str);
printf("%s\n", safe_str);
xmlFree(safe_str);
xmlFreeDoc(doc);
xmlCleanupParser();
return(0);
}
Note that you need to pass it your document pointer as argument too,
so that it will know about all entities and not just <, > et.c.

Elvis
