Yes. You need to use a CDATA node instead of a normal element node. The
markup looks like this:

  <![CDATA[<b>This is my markup</b>]]>

You can put anything into a CDATA node - it's ignored by the parser. My XML
Library handles getting and setting CDATA information for a node quite
easily - if your XML looked like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
  <myHTML><![CDATA[<b>This is my markup</b>]]></myHTML>
</root>

You could get the data with:

  put stsXML_GetNodeData("/root/myHTML") into tHTML

and set it with stsXML_SetNodeData.

By keeping it as CDATA you don't need to replace characters to get what you
want...
