I see where the problem is

OK, I see what's going on, as I'm sure you did too.

We're only converting left-angle-brackets into <s, not converting right-angle-brackets into >s.

Here's a Frontier snippet:

s = "oh the buzzing of the bees"; xml.coercions.frontierValueToTaggedText (@s, 0)

It returns:

"oh the <font> buzzing of the bees"

It's pretty clear that the XML parser you're using doesn't like this. I suspect when we look at the XML spec, they will be right to not like it. I'll go look myself in a few minutes.

Stay tuned.

Dave
