I have the following HTML code:

<code><b>Être en colère</b></code>

How do I convert that to well-formed XML?

I tried using HTML::Entities, but this does not produce well-formed
XML because it creates undefined entity references.

So how can it be done?

use an ISO encoding in your XML, e.g:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

or put those in the DTD.

see above. I use the encoding one. If you use XML::Twig, see:

This example is well-formed XML
- every opening tag has a corresponding closing tag
- the tags are properly nested
- there is only one root tag

Maybe you have an encoding problem rather then an XML problem?
