Characters that do need to be escaped are < > & and in certain uncommon situations ' and ". They need to be escaped because they are used to delineate markup from character data. < > & ' " are the escaped forms of the characters. <Address> My new % Address <just> </Address> The other option is to use CDATA sections, whose only purpose is to avoid the need to escape the markup characters: <Address><[!CDATA[ My new % Address <just> </Address>]]> There are many other requirements for well-formedness that are detailed in the XML 1.0 Recommendation. In the future, please direct general XML questions to a more appropriate forum, like the comp.text.xml newsgroup. - Mike ___________________________________________________________ Mike J.
