escapting <br> tag inside a xml entry

[yahoo182]

Hi there,
I am a pretty newbie to XML. My question is
Say if I want to put a <br> tag inside a xml tag, how would I escape it

<test>
<entry1> blah blah <br> blah blah </entry1>
</test>


Attempting to show this would result in a compilation error on the browser side

<br/> or you could use the newline character &#010;

You would use the XML entity values for the less-than and greater-than symbols:

<entry1> blah blah &lt;br&gt; blah blah </entry1>
