in reply to XMLin question

Is there a way to get around this error?

Yes, fix your xml so it is xml because as it is written now it doesn't qualify for xml, it is broken, any < > in content needs to be escaped, but you knew that already, its FAQ after all

    Ok, thank you

    I was curious if there was some way to auto-convert < to < as well as tags like this in general instead of manually doing this, from an end user perspective.

      :| You don't say :/

      perl -pe "%f = qw{ < &lt; > &gt; }; s{[^><]\K([><])([^\w])}{ $f{$1}$2} +g; " < in > out
        naturally, untested, doesn't work :/
