< and > characters in fo:block

[Marcin Zawadzki <ma...@kompakt.pl>]

I have problem with '<' and '>' characters.
I use fop for doing some reports, and from time to time I need to print something like '<empty>' or '<null>' 

Of course I cannot just write this in content of <fo:block> element, becouse XML parser will expect </empty> or </null> tags, but how to print  that ????

Use xml predefined entities: &lt; for < and &amp; for &, so

<fo:block>
	&lt;empty>
</fo:block>
