XML Processing

[Roman]

Is there a package that converts a string that contains special
characters in xml to to literal value. For instance, converts string
http://myhome/&param to http://myhome/&param.

Thanks in advance

I've seen examples using the HTMLgen module. But here's another script
I just found:

I would think that you could use regular expressions too.

import xml.sax.saxutils

print xml.sax.saxutils.escape("I'm a happy & friendly guy, and 1 < 3 -
never forget that!")
