Write and read unescaped xml data in a textarea

Hello,

Is it possible to write and read unescaped xml data in a textarea of a teamsite dcr (via the standard Form Entry editor).
For example, in the TeamSite Form Entry editor becomes
<value/> in the saved dcr (file).
For a textarea field, I would like to disable the quoting and save for example in the dcr.
With external tools (like a perl script with XML::Twig), it is possible to modify the data later, but I wonder whether this is also possible within the TeamSite Form Entry editor.

Thank you and best regards,
Holger

I think you need to provide more detail in your question.
If you're asking whether XML code (tags, etc) can be inserted into fields within the DCT and stored in the DCR without encoding the '<'s, and '>'s - then the answer is "no". But it should be easy to decode the entities when parsing the contents of a DCR (and IWOV provides some perl modules for doing so - e.g.: TeamSite::XMLnode and friends)
