There are two ways  of 'escaping' < and & in xml for transformation
to docbook.
1. use a CDATA section
2. Do as Bob has done and replace each occurrence with it's character
entity. 

Each time I want the reader of my HTML output to see the ampersand
symbol, I 'write' it as &amp; which the browser 'translates' into &
