I’m learning to use RSS feeds with XSL stylesheets, and I am having a problem with one thing.

In the RSS feed, there are usually a few data tags. Usually there are “ **\<title\>** ” and “ **\<url\>** ” tags, but I am having problems with the “ **\<content:encoded \>** ” tag.

Inside the “ **content:encoded** ” tag, all the descriptions of each news article sit inside a **CDATA[]** tag.

I can get the “ **title** ” and “ **url** ” data to show up, but when I try to get the “ **content:encoded** ” data to show, it shows up as html code, instead of **actually using** that code to format that data.

One example of the output would be:

**[font=Century Gothic]Title of News Feed[/font]**  
[size=1][font=Century Gothic]posted by **th3Phallex** on **1/11/2005 at 10:00** [/font][/size]  
[font=Century Gothic]\<li\>Item number 1\<br\>\</ul\>\<br\>\<b\>This is the subject\</b\>\<br\>\<ul style=" padding-bottom: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"\>\<li\>Here is a list item\<br\>\</ul\>[/font]

I would like to have the “**CDATA[]**” stuff formatted the way it’s supposed to be. How can I do this? Do I need to process the data or something??

**Help Please!**

Thanks!
