There's no info about element types in the XML created by CursortoXML with parameters you specify. CursortoXML "guesses" the type based on item values. For example, if you add third row into cursor

INSERT INTO Foo VALUES ('A')

than field type will be character in NewFoo. You can add inline schema to the XML CursortoXML which includes item type info.

CursortoXML("Foo","lcXMLData", 1,0,0, "1")

BTW, it's enough to use just < pre > and < /pre > tags for a code.
