Content stored as XML instead of String #24

Open cwhiteley opened 14 years ago

cwhiteley commented 14 years ago

I have some deep XML that I would like to store as XML instead of Text. 

<books>
  <book>The story of my life</book>
  <book>The story of your life</book>
</books>

If xml_accessor :books, :from => :content it is stored like : The story of my life The story of your life

is it possible to store or get the element as XML

<book>The story of my life</book> <book>The story of your life</book>

Thanks,

Christopher

Hey Chris, your point doesn't quite come across, thanks to the fact that your markup has been stripped. Could you try editing to add that markup?

First I want to say that you ROXML is amazing and easy to use.

I am working on putting together an Open Source SIF agent which needs to parse and create XML messages. I need to pull out element values as XML not strings. If you try and obtain the :content from books you get the story of your life twice. First I want to say that you ROXML is amazing and easy to use.

 The story of my life
 The story of your life

  <book>The story of my life</book>
  <book>The story of your life</book>
