I made a little progress. I can run the examples in the example dir, but
if i try to embed a html file in between the <Data> and </Data> which i
would expect i could, the result of a sign is:

testhost:/usr/src/xmlsec1-1.2.6/examples# ./sign1 jsign.xml rsakey.pem
jsign.xml:11: parser error : Opening and ending tag mismatch: meta line 
9 and head
</head>

        ^

        ^

        ^

The embedded html file is your own bugs.html from the docs directory.

I was kind of expecting it to be able to sign any file stuffed in 
between the <Data> and </Data> tag.
Binary files would have to be encoded in another xml file saying
<xml blabla>
   <Binary data>
$@$%&>JCBNYIcu489235
@$%$3453453456
  gogjofgssdf
   </Binary data>
</xml>
