xml.rs

//! XML-specific contextual output encoders.
//!
//! provides XML aliases for the HTML encoders, plus XML-only contexts:
//!
//! ## XML 1.0 aliases
//!
//! - [`for_xml`] — alias for [`crate::for_html`]
//! - [`for_xml_content`] — alias for [`crate::for_html_content`]
//! - [`for_xml_attribute`] — alias for [`crate::for_html_attribute`]
//!
//! ## XML-only contexts
//!
//! - [`for_xml_comment`] — safe for XML comment content
//! - [`for_cdata`] — safe for CDATA section content
//!
//! ## XML 1.1
//!
//! - [`for_xml11`] — XML 1.1 content + attributes
//! - [`for_xml11_content`] — XML 1.1 content only
//! - [`for_xml11_attribute`] — XML 1.1 attributes only
//!
//! # security notes
//!
//! - `for_xml_comment` is **not safe for HTML comments**. HTML comments have
//!   vendor-specific extensions (e.g., `<!--[if IE]>`) that make safe encoding
//!   impractical. this encoder is for XML comments only.
//! - `for_cdata` splits CDATA sections to prevent premature closing. the
//!   caller is responsible for wrapping the output in `<![CDATA[...]]>`.
