[ZPT] Generating XML element in ZPT

[Igor Elbert]

I am new to Zope so I apologize if my question is naive.

Is it possible to generate an XML element with ZPT?

For example, how do I get <id>My object's ID</id> where id is here/id?
Similar question was posted in this list a while ago but there was not a
good answer to it.

I tried
<stub tal:replace="string:&lt;$id&gt;">My object's ID<stub
tal:replace="string:&lt;/$id&gt;"/>
but it puts &lt; and &gt; in the output file instead of proper brackets so
it is not a solution.

ZPT has tal:attribute but not tal:element. Why and how to work it around?
