[xquery-talk] Stop Conversion of Character Entities

This is what I getting (simplified) in the output -- the linefeeds are
being created:

<cell><data>hello
big
world</data></cell>


What I want is:

<cell><data>hello
big
world</data></cell>

When the Excel 2003 file is opened in Excel the cell is coming out:

hello big world

What I want it displayed in list form:

hello
big
world

Excel doesn't recognize actual linefeeds as linefeeds in a cell -- it
requires the actual character entity
