The `transform.XMLEscape` function removes [disallowed characters] as defined in the XML specification, then escapes the result by replacing the following characters with [HTML entities]:
- `"``"`
- `'``'`
- `&``&`
- `<``&lt;`
- `>``&gt;`
- `\t``&#x9;`
- `\n``&#xA;`
- `\r``&#xD;`
For example:
```go-html-template
transform.XMLEscape "<p>abc</p>" → &lt;p&gt;abc&lt;/p&gt;
```
When using `transform.XMLEscape` in a template rendered by Go's [html/template] package, declare the string to be safe HTML to avoid double escaping. For example, in an RSS template:
{{< code file="layouts/_default/rss.xml" >}}
<description>{{ .Summary | transform.XMLEscape | safeHTML }}</description>
{{< /code >}}
