with my new flash portfolio, i use xml files to store my text,
but, when i use html inside the xml file, like b i u" etc
it gives an error in the xplorer, wich is clear by me, becoz xml uses the same kind of tags en closes them the same way…
so how is it possible to save html text inside an xml node… ?
```php
How doz this works ?
```
like that… ?

I’ve never tried so I am not sure, but I think a br tag would be something like this \
At least that is how it is in XHTML :x

one time I soved that by pressin’ enter when editing the xml:)
```php
these are my news.
Check 'em out!
```
When I loaded that into flash, it worked fine, printing the linebreaks.
If you’re editing your XML with a cms -app of your own through a server-side language then I can’t help.
sry:(

How can u use them? im not to sure i do not use XML, but to put you on the right tracks:
its **\< br \>** and not **\< br/ \>** as you have displayed it, in normal html you code would look like this
(of course take the spaces out after **\<** and before **\>** )
How doz
this
works?
thats if you used the correct **\< br \>** tags…
