configure tidy to escape the unknown xml tags

Question

I am using tidy to make HTML entered by the user well-formed and i have configured tidy to accept only few html tags. Is there a way i can tell tidy to escape sequence the xml tags that are not known. Example input and the expected output are given below-

Input::
<div>
<p>this is a paragraph</p>
<unknown-tag>text in unknown tag</unknown-tag>
<div>

Expected out::
<div>
<p>this is a paragraph</p>
&lt;***unknown-tag* &gt; text in unknown tag &lt; /unknown-tag &gt;**
<div>

Best Regards, Keshav
