Don't use disable-output-escaping in this situation. You should only
disable output escaping when you're generating something that is
not-quite XML. As you describe your problem, you're generating
something that is not-at-all XML, but rather text. In that case,
follow Kevin Nardi's advice:

Cheers,

Jeni
