Why do you have malformed xml like that?

How do you reliably know what's tags and what's string?

Your plan is to preprocess the text to make it well-formed xml so it can be 
unquoted?

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.

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;")

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?
