Hi all,

I can’t comprehend the following text formatting issues

- i have a .xml with the following nodes for text content

```auto

<page pageID = "page1" gotoURL="/page1/title1" subMenuNumber="1">
			  <pageTitle>Here our title</pageTitle>
			  <pageContent><![CDATA[<h2>Title</h2>
			  <p><u>test</u>
test
test with br <br/>

</p>]]></pageContent>
			</page>

```

The problem i have is with new lines/returns/  
. Sometimes not all the content between the tags is being displayed. And if i want to use   
 tag i need to have no spaces with the next text line, like

```auto
this is a test</br>
which makes another empty line

```

```auto
this is a test</br>which makes no other empty line

```

any tips on xml cddata htmltext etc.
