Re: Sending XML containing html tags

Hello,
the whole point of xml is that it contains data elements only,
as opposed to conventional html which has data and style.
XSLT is supposed to be the solution to convert xml into html.
alternatively, you could create small methods (method name "span", for
example),
to be called within the context of constructing the xml,
which given a DOM reference and value would insert a span tag.
but, yes, there are cases where you would like to insert a piece of xml
within a parent xml, which seems to be beyond the capabilities of DOM
commands.
incidentally the SAX ADD XML ELEMENT VALUE has been enhanced in v11 to
accept an * to directly handle escape characters.
