If I put the new line “&# 10;” (i know the space is incorrect, needed in this post) inside of a XML node it works fine, outside of all XML nodes it will not work. I would rather not mess around with HTML stuff if possible.  
So in the example below the green works, the red does not work.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

```auto

var xmlStuff:XML = 

    <entireScenario>
		<mainTitle>{txtMainTitle.text}</mainTitle>
		<startSlide>{txtFirstSlide.text}</startSlide>[COLOR="green"]&# 10;[/COLOR]
    </entireScenario>[COLOR="#8b0000"]&# 10;[/COLOR];

```
