Hi,

I am generating a xml document using 

Document document = DocumentHelper.createDocument();
        Element root = document.addElement( "root" );

Element author1 = root.addElement( "author" )
                     .addText(  strData );  
...

I do not have control over what is in the data, so there could be < or > etc. 
in it.
What is the best practice to handle this?
There used to be a DocumentHelper.encodeString(), but that seems to be gone?

I assume that dom4j is not doing any escaping/encoding by default!?


What if there are illegal characters (control characters like 0x7)  in the 
data? Is a binary encoding (e.g. base64) the only way to go?

Thanks
Michael
