Hello, Why is it that the well known escape mechanism of using a release character (like '\') for escaping special characters (eg. '<','&') not used in XML? for eg. In order to input data "5<8"(without quotes) in XML element, it is currently represented something like: <Element1>5<8</Element1> Why not escape '<' using '\<' so that we get <Element1>5\<8</Element1>? Thanks in advance for any replies, Amit Rekhi, Software Engineer, A.B. Infosys Private Limited, B-102, Gulmohar Park, New Delhi - 110049, INDIA.
