If you treat the content as text  not HTML  then DOM operations should cause the data to be properly encoded   Here s how you d do it in jQuery       container   text xmlString     Here s how you d do it with standard DOM methods   document getElementById  container            appendChild document createTextNode xmlString      If you re placing the XML inside of HTML through server-side scripting  there are bound to be encoding functions to allow you to do that  if you add what your server-side technology is  we can give you specific examples of how you d do it

Simple solution is to embed inside of a  lt textarea gt  element  which will preserve both the formatting and the angle brackets   I have also removed the border with style  border none   which makes the textarea invisible   Here is a sample  http   jsfiddle net y9fqf 1
