Okay, thanks a lot..
How do I use <![CDATA[ in the libxml ? When I do something
like this then "<" and ">" will get escaped :

gchar *data;
data = g_strdup_printf("<![CDATA[%s]]>", item->data);
xmlNewChild (itemnode,NULL,"data", data);

And if I don't want to use the <![CDATA[ ]]> tag. What
would be the best way to search/replace the "special"
characters in C ? Normal regular expression, sed like
search/replace ? s/&/&amp;/g ?
