[erlang-questions] beginner: Generating HTML with ">" from Erlang

Thu Feb 13 13:59:15 CET 2014

Mmmmh, right. Was thinking about <.

That being said, code consuming HTML or XML shouldn’t see a difference, and not escaping could also introduce other bugs, as ]]> is not supposed to appear in content (in XML). This leads us to the original question, which was « why do you need to do this? ».
