Hello everyone,

I might be missing something that's fairly obvious , but is there a way to
store strings as XML in a database?

What I am looking to do is store links and such within a paragraph in a
table.

For example the text might be something like: "this is <a href="alink">a
link</a> to another page", which as far I understand can only be stored in a
database as a base type - ie string. However, when I want to display this on
a page, I need to convert it to XML, which apparently escapes the HTML tags.
Is there some way around this?

Thanks for any help with this,
Simon
