[basex-talk] Way to escape XML?

Hi, I must be missing the obvious, but is there a way to serialize element() or node() into xs:string with the XML getting entity escaped in BaseX? Something like: let $xml as element() := <xml>Hello World</xml> return serialize($xml, map{"method":"entity-escaped-string"} would result in <xml>Hello World</xml> -- Goody Bye, Minden jót, Mit freundlichen Grüßen, Andreas Mixich
