@Ananth:
Converting to Base64 would be massive overkill, surely.
@OP:
There's no reason you can't include strings containing HTML in JSON
data. You just have to make sure your strings are valid string
literals, like this:
{
message: "<p>This is HTML.</p>"
}
There's nothing special other than making sure the HTML is correctly
escaped -- e.g., if you're putting the JSON string in double quotes,
naturally any double quotes in the HTML will need a backslash in front
of them -- as, for that matter, will any backslashes!
