Simon,

so at xmlhack, you're putting markup into text fields in an MS Access
database, and then export the data as XML, even though Access doesn't
know that certain fields are markup? and then you piece it together into
XHTML? sounds like fun. sounds like regexp!
sed 's/<[CDATA[\(.*<.*>.*\)]]>/\1/g' < access-export.xml \
| sed 's/\(&[[:alpha:]];\)/<[CDATA[\1]]>/g' > extra-clean.xml

or try a database that knows about XML.

regards,

/m
