Description [src]

const char *store = "Fortnum & Mason";
const char *item = "Tea";
char *output;

output = g_markup_printf_escaped ("<purchase>"
                                  "<store>%s</store>"
                                  "<item>%s</item>"
                                  "</purchase>",
                                  store, item);
