You are trying to make an XML parser not parse XML, that's bound to fail. > In other words, this could be badly formed HTML not processed embeded into > well formed xml tags. If you really have something like "embedded HTML", it must be escaped in your data to be parsable. There is no way an XML parser can return what you want without modifying your 'data' (at least loosing whitespace etc.). I think the easiest option (if you have it) is to talk to the idiots who sent you the data and have them fix it.
