title: How to ignore XML syntax in a node
body: <p>I want to use an xml document to store print strings that will be sent to an IPL printer along with some other data using C#. </p>
  
  <p>Is there an attribute I can assign to the node that will ignore any xml syntax within that node and basically treat it as a string? For example I have a node below called string which will contain the print job that I want to send to the printer. The problem is the string has XML style tags within it which is causing formatting issues when viewed in visual studio. I am using C# serializer to read the xml tag and copy its contents to a string. What would be the best way to accomplish this task?</p>
