I am trying to solve this issue and ask something like this once before, but
I still can't figure it out.
I have a content system (Divine) and I want to create an XML file (RDF
actually) and it would have the following structure. The problem is
in-between the <thebody> tags.
<!-- xml version="1.0"? -->
<!DOCTYPE portal PUBLIC "" "some.dtd">
<portal>
<channel>

data?</title>

<thebody>
I want to embedd HTML here without
having the parser change all the
<html></html> to <html> I
don't want to use an xsl here because of
where we are getting the content
from. any ideas?
</thebody>

Mr. Chatfield is correct. ANY means any element declared in the DTD. -Mike
