Hi Geoff,
JiBX doesn't support capturing the entire content of the "paratext"
element as a string - the content is XML, and will always be processed
as XML. You've basically got two alternatives for doing what you want:
Use a document model for the content of the paratext element (DOM and
dom4j have marshaller/unmarshallers included in the extras jar); or
write your own marshaller/unmarshaller. The latter alternative is not
terribly difficult, but would involve some added work to look into the
examples (mainly in the org.jibx.extras source tree). That way you could
accumulate all the text separately from the embedded elements.

Would anyone have a suggestion as to how I could model the following XML:
<paratext>
Line One.
<footnote.reference refid="1" />
Line Two.
<footnote.reference refid="2" />
Line Three.
</paratext>
Ideally I would like to capture the entire content of the "paratext"
element as a string.
Then bind each "footnote.reference" element into a collection.
I've tried the following binding definition (simplified version):
<mapping name="paratext" class="model.ParaText" ordered="true">
<value field="text" set-method="setText" usage="optional"
style="text" />
<collection field="footnoteEntries" usage="optional"
item-type="model.FootnoteReference" />
</mapping>
<mapping name="footnote.reference" class="model.FootnoteReference"
ordered="false">
<value style="attribute" name="refid" field="refId"
usage="optional"/>
</mapping>
But with this binding, I'm able to collect the footnote entries, but
only able to capture as a string the first line ("Line One.").
Any thoughts on how to go about this?
Would this require a custom unmarshaller?
