title: using batch echo with special characters
body: <p>This maybe really easy but there were no answers for it over the net. I want to echo a XML line via batch into a file but it misunderstands the XML closing tag for redirection ">". The line is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt; &gt; myfile.xml
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>is there any way to give a hint to batch parser not to interpret a special string? I used double-quotes but it writes them to the file as well! The file should look like this after echo:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt;
  </code></pre>
