[Simple-support] how to serialize/deserialize html style tags within an element

[Gar Ng <ga...@gm...>]

Hi,

I have some xml documents that contain html inside an element.  An example
is as follows:

<person>
    <firstName>Bob<firstName>
    <notes>
        <html: p>
            Bob is <strong>severely</strong> allergic to peanuts
        </html: p>
    </notes>
</person>

I attempted to create a converter to handle this case.

The current api allows me to create child elements and write a value to the
current element but is there a way to handle this case where a style
element is embedded in the text?  When attempting to read it in, the value
on the inputNode appears to only contain the text up to the <strong> tag,
everything after the child element <strong> does not appear to be in the
inputNode.  Conversely, there is no way to create an output node with this
structure either.

The only solution that I can think of would be to wrap the <notes> or <p>
element in CDATA before reading and then do some post processing to remove
the CDATA tag after writing.  Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,
Gary
