I’m using the following .xml file:

\<portfolio\>  
\<item id=“1”  
title=“XYXY”  
imageURL=“prev.jpg”  
previewURL=“main.jpg”  
summary=“this is the content which needs html formating”  
portfolio=“gabor/images/palyak/phakisa.jpg” /\>  
\</portfolio\>

My problem is that I need to display the “summary” part in a textbox, which allows html-tags, but I just can’t manage to put the html-content in the xml. If i insert tags, the contetn does not appear in the textbox anymore.  
Could you help me out?  
Thanks
