 * Hi,
 * I see that this question was asked before and there was no resolution. I am trying
   to import HTML data within my XML file import and all HTML is being stripped 
   out of the imported data. I have the HTML enclosed in CDATA tags and the XML 
   is valid.Is there a way to work around this in the import?
 * Thank you,
    Paul

 * Hello [@plainpawl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/plainpawl/),
 * Thank you for reaching out to us.
    Can you provide your XML file so that we can
   check it out? And please make sure that the HTML is inside the <content: encoded
   > tag.

 * Thanks for the answer. I had not used the <content: encoded> tag. I will try 
   this first.
