Hey, I finally got around to building this out, and wanted to thank you, this approach is mostly working, with just one problem: -Sharing the description txt element is problematic, unless I use a short blurb that needs zero formatting, an stf. But we're going to need multiple paragraphs for at least half this stuff. If someone wants a carriage return, then the xml will have html in it. Any ideas for how to get around this? Just so everyone understands what I'm trying to do: I have an html page and a xml (podcast rss feed) page, sharing the same content elements. What I need is for the text elements that are shared, for the minimal amount of markup that they would contain, the tags would need to be converted to <p> , </p> , etc.
