Hello all,

I try to write a schema, where one of my element should contain XML tags,
like follows :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
    <xs:element name="root">
        <xs:complexType>
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element name="content" type="xs:string">
                    <xs:annotation>
                        <xs:documentation>this element will contain an XML
string</xs:documentation>
                    </xs:annotation>
                </xs:element>
            </xs:sequence>
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>
</xs:schema>

The problem is that I cannot validate an XML instance document, as the
"content" tag contains an XML string.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<root xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="D:\projects\MetaEd\toto.xsd">
    <content>
    
        xml content should come here ...
    
    </content>
</root>


Thanks in advance for any hints ...

Régis
