HTML file within an XML file

[Dmitry Shekhter]

Hi all,
My question is this. Is it possible to embed an HTML page as an element within an XML document, like if I wanted to have something like
<site>
<name>Fubar</name>
<htmlpage> ...this is where i'd want the html page </htmlpage>
</site>
How would this work/look?
I hope my question makes sense.
Thanks

Yes, it is possible. However, you need to make sure that the resulting XML is still wellformed (which HTML is not, so you must encode certain special characters, fix <br> tags with not closing counterpart, etc.)

Do I still have to format the HTML if i declare the element containing it as CDATA?
Thanks

It should be ok as long as your HTML doesn't include the "]]>" string closing the CDATA block.
