escaping tags in xml

Are you sure? In most cases when people say that they want to do this,
it's because they're approaching their real problem in the "wrong"
way, probably because they're used to creating HTML using a procedural
programming language.

If you tell us what you want to do -- what XML you want to transform
into what HTML -- we'll show you how to approach it using XSLT. I can
virtually guarantee that it won't require writing opening and closing
tags in different places.

Cheers,

Jeni
