Hi Thomas, The ICharacterEscaper approach would work for marshalling out a string containing markup, but wouldn't help with unmarshalling. The problem here is that there's no way to tell the parser to just treat the content of an element (<text>, in this case) as a text blob. The parser will *always* insist on parsing out the individual elements, and there's nothing JiBX can do to avoid this.
The easiest way of dealing with this type of arbitrary (but well-formed) content is generally to use a DOM representation. The JiBX extras classes include marshaller/unmarshallers for DOM and a couple of alternatives (JDOM and dom4j). Once you have the content in the form of a DOM, you can work with it directly or use an empty javax.xml.transform.Transformer to convert it to text. - Dennis Dennis M.
