If I'm understanding you correctly, you want to use greater than and less than characters in your XML data.

For this you have 2 options: encode them or use CDATA.

The first is simple: replace "<" with "<" and ">" with ">", so <tag>></tag> becomes <tag>></tag>

The second is to wrap it in CDATA blocks which start with "<![CDATA[" and and with "]]>", which can contain anything (except the CDATA end sequence "]]>"), so the previous example would become <tag><![CDATA[>]]></tag>
