The `transform.XMLEscape` function removes [disallowed characters] as defined in the XML specification, then escapes the result by replacing the following characters with [HTML entities]:
- `"` → `"`
- `'` → `'`
- `&` → `&`
- `<` → `<`
- `>` → `>`
- `\t` → `	`
- `\n` → `
`
- `\r` → `
`
For example:
```go-html-template
{{ transform.XMLEscape "<p>abc</p>" }} → <p>abc</p>
```
When using `transform.XMLEscape` in a template rendered by Go's [html/template] package, declare the string to be safe HTML to avoid double escaping. For example, in an RSS template:
```xml {file="layouts/rss.xml"}
<description>{{ .Summary | transform.XMLEscape | safeHTML }}</description>
```
