Weird. I can't reproduce this:
<cfset s = "<font color=""red""><b>foo</b></font>"> <cfxml variable="x"> <root> <child name="one" /> </root> </cfxml> <cfset x.root.child[1].xmlText = s> <cfoutput> #x.root.child[1].xmltext# <p> #s# </cfoutput> The value is NOT escaped in the XML, nor in the original variable.
