Hello

I am trying to dynamicall generate text from an xml file. I want to know a good idea on how to make and then parse an xml node that will be displaying the text contents in Bullet point. See the sample below

Objectives:

. Our first objective  
. Our second objective  
. Our Third objective … so on

This is one issue.

The other issue is because I am making a content managment System. SO I want users to change the text and send it to [ASP.net](http://ASP.net) script so that the xml content file is udated on server.

How would I allow user to edit the text in this case lets suppose objective text but still keep some special characters that determine the end of one point?

Thanks in advance  
I hope I am making sense herel…
