    <p>I am trying to write XML data using Stax where the content itself is HTML</p> <p>If I try</p> <pre><code>xtw.writeStartElement("contents"); xtw.writeCharacters("&lt;b&gt;here&lt;/b&gt;"); xtw.writeEndElement(); </code></pre> <p>I get this</p> <pre><code>&lt;contents&gt;&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;here&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;/contents&gt; </code></pre> <p>Then I notice the CDATA method and change my code to:</p> <pre><code>xtw.writeStartElement("contents"); xtw.writeCData("&lt;b&gt;here&lt;/b&gt;"); xtw.writeEndElement(); </code></pre> <p>and this time the result is</p> <pre><code>&lt;contents&gt;&lt;![CDATA[&lt;b&gt;here&lt;/b&gt;]]&gt;&lt;/contents&gt; </code></pre> <p>which is still not good. <strong>What I really want is</strong> </p> <pre><code>&lt;contents&gt;&lt;b&gt;here&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/contents&gt; </code></pre> <p>So is there an XML API/Library that allows me to write raw text without being in a CDATA section? So far I have looked at Stax and JDom and they do not seem to offer this.</p> <p>In the end I might resort to good old StringBuilder but this would not be elegant.</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong></p> <p>I agree mostly with the answers so far. However instead of <code>&lt;b&gt;here&lt;/b&gt;</code> I could have a 1MB HTML document that I want to embed in a bigger XML document. What you suggest means that I have to parse this HTML document in order to understand its structure. I would like to avoid this if possible. </p> <p><strong>Answer:</strong></p> <p>It is not possible, otherwise you could create invalid XML documents.</p>

    1. COIf this were possible then you could far too easily write invalid XML files. Not that most real-world HTML (that is not XHTML) is **not** valid XML (far too many unclosed tags and unescaped attributes). All of that is fine for HTML, but not allowed for XML, so using CDATA is really the only correct thing to do, unless your HTML is actually XHTML.

    2. CO@Joachim. Yes in my case it is XHTML. That is why I know it is valid and I want to embed it straight away without any processing.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
