> #include <libxml/entities.h>
>
> int main (int argc, char *argv[])
> {
> LIBXML_TEST_VERSION
>
> const xmlChar *str = "string with < and > in it";
> const xmlChar *xml = "<foo />";
>
> xmlDoc *doc = xmlReadMemory(xml, 8, "xml", "UTF-8", 0);
> xmlChar *safe_str = xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant(doc, str);
>
> printf("%s\n", safe_str);
>
> xmlFree(safe_str);
> xmlFreeDoc(doc);
> xmlCleanupParser();
>
> return(0);

> Note that you need to pass it your document pointer as argument too,
