How do I include &, <, > etc in XML attribute values

Can I include and in resume?

I have researched the topic of the use of "&" quite recently and found that it is not advised to use it in any formal writing, including resumes.

How much detail should you include in resume?

The more relevant each job, skill or qualification on your CV is to the position you're applying for, the more detail you should include. Concentrate particularly on your last two jobs, because these are the ones employers are usually most interested in.

You will have to escape

" to  &quot;
' to  &apos;
< to  &lt;
> to  &gt;
& to  &amp;

for xml.

In XML attributes you must escape

" with &quot;
< with &lt;
& with &amp;

if you wrap attribute values in double quotes ("), e.g.

<MyTag attr="If a&lt;b &amp; b&lt;c then a&lt;c, it's obvious"/>

meaning tag MyTag with attribute attr with text If a<b & b<c then a<c, it's obvious - note: no need to use ' to escape ' character.

If you wrap attribute values in single quotes (') then you should escape these characters:

' with &apos;
< with &lt;
& with &amp;

and you can write " as is. Escaping of > with > in attribute text is not required, e.g. <a b=">"/> is well-formed XML.
