HTML in XML

[flanakin]

Is it possible to use HTML tags within XML? For instance:

<desc>
This is my description.<br/>
This is my second line.<br/>
<b>And the third is bolded.</b>
</desc>

I would like to be able to do this for formatting, but do not know of a way to do it without checking for the tags in every place that I want it to be possible. Any help is appreciated. Thanks. ________________________________________

Yes. All you have to do is copy the HTML tags in your XSL file.
This can be accomplished by adding the following template to your stylesheet:

<xsl:template match=&quot;@*|*&quot;>
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select=&quot;@*|node()&quot; />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>

The exception is the line break tag <br> which will add two line breaks (<br></br>). To fix this problem add the following template also to your stylesheet:

<xsl:template match=&quot;br&quot;>
<br />
</xsl:template>

It's that simple!
