How much of that are you assigning to the htmlText property?

I have a repeater that displays all the objects described in the XML. However, I can't seem to get it to respect the <b> tag. I've tried wrapping the contents of that tag in CDATA, but all that gets me is CDATA on the screen. When I don't wrap it in CDATA, the entire XML tag appears as a result of this expression: contentItem.valueOf().toString(), rather than just the bit in the middle. Can anyone point me to something that tells me how you wrap html text in the XML file to make it actually work properly inside a textArea? TIA; Amy
