See if URLEncode() and URLDecode() will package and recover your text and/or htmltext to XML's liking...it works for me on other stuff...

Hi Folks,

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

Here are my comments.
Some of the text is colored <font color="#FF0000">red</font> &amp; <font color="#0000FF">blue</font>

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.
