Description
It would be very useful if site.jsl offered a tag we could use to escape XML text. This is particularly useful when you need to include the contents of another XML file into your xdoc, as described below:
1.The way it is now, the code included inside the <source> tags won't be escaped and hence won't be rendered (as the browser will ignore the unknown XML tags)
<source>
&xmlBeingIncluded;
</source>
2.With the patch I'm including, we would use:
<source>
<escapeXml>
&xmlBeingIncluded;
</escapeXml>
</source>
Besides the patch, I'm providing a simple test case ilustrating the issue.
in the test case provided with the patch.
Activity
It doesn't work with included XML (at least I couldn't get it to 
, as shown in the test case. It work with code like this:
<[CDATA[
<bla-bla-bla>
</bla-bla-bla>
]]>
In fact, that's what we were using in the document that originated this patch. But that contenct came from a dinamic XML, so we rather included that file than copy and paste its content again everytime it changes.
But if you try:
<[CDATA[
&myIncludedXml;
]]>
the result would be only:
&myIncludedXml;
Proposed patch.
