You can use CDATA blocks to prevent interpretation of XML special characters such as "<", ">" and "&" (this avoids having to explictly encode these characters). When outputting the stuff you would have to prevent the CDATA markup itself from being written out, but just its content. That way the output would contain the required markup.<BR>

A better approach would be to use "HTML Tidy" to convert "standard HTML" (SGML) to XHTML (XML) before you use it.<BR>

Believe me, I would if I could. But I'm not the writer. The HTML is written
by end users, stored in my app, and sent to other apps on which I have no
control.

But I also need to support <b>Hello</b>, where both tags must be part of the
text value.
Currently I convert the "<" to "&lt;" and ">" to "&gt;". I copied this
method from Adobe's xmp format, but I find it rather heavy, and I don't know
if it's official.
