In normal XQuery you don't need to do this. Are you sure you do?

Maybe you just need:

<foo>{ $value }</foo>

The value will be properly escaped on output.

I could do that, but I just figured there'd be a xquery function do to it for 
all three special XML characters.  It's easy enough to write one, but I just 
assumed that someone else would have needed it.

Steve - Did you try using fn:replace? e.g. fn:replace(fn:replace($title, "<", 
"&amp;lt;"), ">", "&amp;gt;")

I have a string like this:

A title for <placeholder> the product

and I'd like to replace it with

A title for &lt;placeholder&gt; the product

Basically, I want to make the a valid XML text node, fixing greater than, less 
than, and ampersands.  I thought I could make xdmp:quote do that, but, perhaps 
because it's Friday afternoon, I can't find the right options to make it work.

Is there any easy solution I can't find?
