If I try revXMLNodeContents(id,"/Card/Content"), the function returns
empty. No "xmlerr", not even " needs to be displayed just like ; it
should be in field." Not that I want any of those...

How do I get what I want?

Terry, the problem is that you have tags within tags... the <Red> tag is a
node just like <Content>. What you need is a CDATA tag that will let you
store formatted data inside of a node, like:


<Content>
<![CDATA[<Red>This</Red> needs to be displayed <italic>formatted</italic>
just like <bold>HTML</bold>; it should be in <italic>one</italic> field.]]>
</Content>


Any data inside the <![CDATA[ ... ]]> structure is not parsed by the
interpreter; it's kind of like HTML's <pre> tag.  you can use the
'revXMLNodeContents' to retrieve the CDATA tag, so:

  put revXMLNodeContents(id,"/Content")

for my chunk above would return:

  <Red>This</Red> needs to be displayed <italic>formatted</italic> just
  like <bold>HTML</bold>; it should be in <italic>one</italic> field.

Thanks, Ken, that was very helpful.

Of course I actually wanted to have "This" displayed in red instead of between visible tags. But I can replace the <bold> with <b> etc to have normal HTML tags, so I can set the HTMLtext of the field to the content of 'Content'.

Next question:
How do I set the content of a node to the <![CDATA[ ... ]]> structure? In my attempts it replaces the < and > to &lt; and &gt;. Should I just use the 'replace' function or is there a smarter way?
