The only relatively safe way to do something like this, and even then you can
get in trouble, is to use the <![CDATA["put all the nasty HTML here"]]>
construct.

The "nasty HTML" cannot contain the sequence ]]> but as long as you can
guarantee that, this should be safe for embedding HTML, or almost anything,
in XML.
