Including HTML as the value of an XML node

[Russel Madere]

I searched the archives and could not find a solution.  If there is one and I missed it, I apologize.

I have a Flash app that read XML and includes the value of the node into a text box as HTML.  The Flash works fine with plain text but breaks when I include HTML tags.  My research indicates that it is the HTML tags embedded in the XML.  

Here is a sample: http://www.washingtonartillery.org/csa/news.xml
The application: http://www.washingtonartillery.org/csa/index.html

The first 2 articles work fine, but the third just displays "As a member of ".  

How can I escape the tags?  This is the last programatic step I need to figure out.

Could you do some processing within the Flash UI that replaces e.g.
*word* with <strong>word</strong>, some sort of simplified formatting
syntax?  Its not a perfect solution but it might be workable.
