Within the larger context, I have a string like this: <title>A title for <placeholder text> the product</title>
that I'm then converting into an xml document node using xdmp:unquote. That makes xdmp:unquote barf, but if I do a fn:replace, on the specific characters it works. As I said, I can whip something up, but I assumed there was an obvious function for this.

Maybe you just need: <foo>{ $value }</foo> The value will be properly escaped on output.

It's easy enough to write one, but I just assumed that someone else would have needed it.
