 The following will put the HTML code as-is into the output instead of
 escaping the angular brackets.

 {{{
 <enscript highlight="html">
 <div>
   <span>Hello, <strong>dear</strong> friends.</span>
   <span>This is a simple example.</span>
 </div>
 </enscript>
 }}}

 The problem here is that hyde calls colorize with an exception handler
 which just returns the original code.  This code is then injected, whereas
 colorize will return HTML, taking care of escaping.

 Actually, hyde should choose whether it wants to do string manipulation or
 use SXML throughout.  Using {{{inject}}} is a nasty hack and should be
 avoided. Take a look at qwiki; it calls {{{html->sxml}}} on the output of
 colorize and any other user-supplied HTML.  If hyde would do this, it also
 ensures that any mistakes in any of the converters (or the user's own
 code) don't mess up the SXML structure.
