There is XML character decorator in Boost.Log. It is based on a common
tool called pattern_replacer which can be used as a function (see
https://github.com/boostorg/log/blob/master/include/boost/log/expressions/formatters/char_decorator.hpp#L78).

In Boost.StringAlgo there are a number of replace algorithms which can
be used for this.
