 * I am importing a tag into content which contains regular html elements like `
   <p>, <strong>` etc. ( [http://image.prntscr.com/image/2c1e2874edf1459688ce54cfb15f8048.jpeg](http://image.prntscr.com/image/2c1e2874edf1459688ce54cfb15f8048.jpeg))
 * Checking “decode HTML entities with html_entity_decode” didn’t work (if that 
   is the right option for this).
 * Seems like plugin only writes content if there is text inside main tag, child
   tags are skipped. Is there a way to write everything what is under tag I am inserting
   there?

 * Hi filoveg.
 * Looking at your screenshot, I can see that the HTML tags are actually being interpreted
   as XML elements.
 * It would be very hard to work around this, so you should really wrap your HTML
   tags in a CDATA tag. More info: [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2784183/what-does-cdata-in-xml-mean](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2784183/what-does-cdata-in-xml-mean)

 * Is there an alternative to this if you cannot edit the XML? I have <br/> tags
   in the XML and they are not coming in.
