I don't understand well what you mean. I believe that you want
something like:
<event>
<date date="..." />
<title> .... </title>
<body>
.....
</body>
</event>
And be able to "parse" the sub-tags an do something useful with that.
I don't believe that it's easy to do your own parsing with Radius,
maybe it's not even possible. But that does not matter. IMHO, the way to
handle this is to expand the <event> tag, which will expand the sub-tags.
In the sub-tags you bind data to the <event> tag, so when the expanding ends
at the <event> tag it has all the information and can render whatever HTML
you want and return it.
The point here is to realize that expanding a tag does not mean that
you have to return the HTML you get back, you can return whatever you want.
In the case explained above, the sub-tags will not even return any HTML,
just add data to the parent tag.
I found this doc nice for understanding the Radius tags from a developer
point of view:
