Im just wondering if its in any way possible to include html-coded text instead of plain text in an xml-file.

At first glance (and probably last) it doesnt look that way, since the xml-parser uses pretty much the similar brackets as html (especially “\<” and “\>”).

```auto

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>
  <datapacket>
  	<row	col_0="Plain text"/>
  	<row	col_0="<a href="www.kirupa.com">Html text with link</a>"/>
  </datapacket>  

```

But perhaps there is a way?
