Inputting special characters inside xml

[Reshma]

Hello,
How to input special characters inside xml like < (Less than) , >
(Greater than) as a text

Thanks,

[Richard Blewett [DevelopMentor]]

You encode < as &lt; and > as &gt;

But I get the feeling you already know that and its something else you are asking. Can you be more specific if the above doesn't give you what you want.

Well, looking at my post it has nicely translated my encodings into the < and > sign <sigh>. OK here are the encodings, but I'll put spaces between so you can read them

< = & l t ;

= & g t ;

Isn't there a "raw" or "string" xml element type so you can put any string
in without the special chars (i.e. a formatted xml string.)? I thought I
remember reading something on that.

yes, the CDATA section is ignored by the xml parser.

Using the XmlTextWriter you can use WriteRaw method to write raw markup
to the XML file.
However, AFAIK, there is no DOM approach that will allow this.

Although, of course, you can actually set the InnerXml/OuterXml
properties of a given DOM node(XmlNode), which is kind of cool.
