The entities for the XML meta-characters (& > < " ') are part of the XML standard itself and always available in XML documents/parsers. So no need to worry, you can just replace occurrences of the characters with the appropriate entity. Make sure you replace the '&' character first, as you will run into ugly double escaping problems otherwise. You also only need to escape & and < in element content, the others are optional. Martin
