Special characters in XML structure

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hello. I need some special characters in XML-structure: "<" and ">".
But this easy code doesn't works properly for me:

const char *xml = "<anything>&lt</anything>";
pugi::xml_document doc;
doc.load_buffer(xml, strlen(xml));
pugi::xml_node node = doc.child("anything");
cout << node.text().get() << endl;

I have "&lt" in output.
Next variants don't work also:

//const char *xml = "<anything>&#x003C</anything>";
//doc.load_buffer(xml, strlen(xml), pugi::parse_default & ~pugi::parse_escapes);
//doc.load_buffer(xml, strlen(xml), pugi::parse_default | pugi::parse_escapes);

Is there any way to having special characters in XML structure?

Sorry, I forgot the important symbol ";" in my XML-structure:
"<" -> "<"

After this easy manipulation the code works fine :)
