Hi Folks,
Is it possible to store html styled text in an xml document and
then successfully retrieve the text with html markup intact?

Is there a way to do this? Will I have to resort to saving the
RTFtext in the xml node or something like that?
Hi Devin,
You need to escape ", ', <, and < when entering data into an XML
node. I can't remember if RevXML has any handlers for this or if
you just have to do it by hand. For an example of the escape
characters just do a Google search for "xml escape characters".
You may want to check out Ken Ray's XML library. I haven't used it
but browsing through the API, there is a stsXML_replaceEntities
that looks like it would do what you want.
Thanks Trevor. I already knew that I had to escape those characters,
plus '&' when writing xml. You triggered a "Duh!" moment in my brain,
as it dawned on me that I'd also have to escape those other
characters in my html markup.
It's working now.
