How to include formatted text from a file?

[Pauli]

Hey,
Thanks a lot!
Actually both of your approaches work fine! But I'm going with the CDATA thing, because it makes it much easier when you don't have to convert every < or >...

My XML file now looks something like this:

<text><![CDATA[
<b>Hello World!</b>
]]></text>

Simple enough.
Now if there would only be an option so OpenLaszlo would unterstand special characters such as ü or ä, so I could eliminate the extra step of converting everything to unicode. But I guess that's not possible, right?
