In the previous post of this series, we ended up with a simple class which could write XML elements and element content to a std::string. However, this code has a common, serious problem that was mentioned in my post Don’t Form XML Using String Concatenation: it doesn’t properly escape XML special characters such as & and < This means that if you call WriteString() with one of these characters, your generated XML will be invalid and will not be able to be parsed by an XML parser.
