chop_and_escape_str calls esc_html within a XML tag. Since esc_html itself does escape control characters with quot_cec it could potentially open another tag which leads to incorrect XML. This patch adds an option "intag" to esc_html and quot_cec to indicate that we are currently within a tag and thus suppresses opening another one. It also makes use of this option in chop_and_escape_str.
