XML Output Stage - Help

I'm using the XML Output stage to create XML, and it's adding this tag to the beginning of the XML...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

How do I stop that?

Also, if my values in the xml contain "<" or ">" it is removing them, and changing them to things like "<" and ">", which I don't want it to do. Is there a way to turn that off as well?

There's a check box "generate chunk" which will leave out the header and > etc is required for the xml to be valid. Content inside of an element that contains such characters has to be "escaped" in order for another xml parser to properly read the content.

Look at your final xml document in your browser...it will automatically perform the conversion back to > and <.
