I have a string variable that I'm using dynamically in an XML document, so it's necessary to use XMLFormat() or HTMLEditFormat() to change special characters like "<", ">", and "&" so that the XML doesn't break.
However, I need to convert those back to their literals before saving to the DB, i.e., I need ">" to be converted back to ">", and "&" to be converted back to "&", etc. Is there a CF function that will do this? I haven't been able to find one. Also, not for CF but for web dev in general, is there a standard term for the ">", " ", etc. format?
