[XML-SIG] Silly question

[brk@jenkon.com]

I know I must have just overlooked it somewhere, but does anyone know of a
function that will take plain text and make it safe for XML? That is, given
a string like 'This is an <example> of unusable text", convert it to 'This
is an &lt;example&gt; of unusable text'?

Thanks.
