Feeds module is stripping html tags from xml

Question

I tried my best to find an answer, but now I am finally stuck.

I am using Drupal 7.36, Feeds 7.x-2.0-alpha8 and used already 7.x-2.x-dev.

I am trying to import a XML file using the Feeds module with a simple structure:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
  <persons>
    <person>
      <number><p>12</p></number>
    </person>
    <person>
      <number><ul><li>2</li></ul></number>
    </person>
</persons>

But all I get after the import is the plain text 12 without any HTML tags.

I created a custom Content type named Persons and added one field to it, which accepts as text processing 'filtered text'.

For this purpose I checked, that my filtered text is accepting p, li and ul tags. For that I edited all relevant text formats at: admin/config/content/formats

Anyway, after for the purpose of solving this issue I do actually just use Full HTML now, without any restrictions. If I type in HTML manually into a Person content entity the HTML tag stays there properly.

In the Feeds module I added an importer and chose under Processor (in my case node processor) 'texte-format' Full HTML. Here I added as a bundle my Person content type.

As parser I use XPath XML parser.

Fetcher is File-Upload.

The importer is properly attached to Persons content type under basic settings.

Anyway, always, when I import my XML, it strips off the HTML tags.

I do not use any WYSIWYG module.

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I would suggest that you switch to QueryPath XML parser (you need Feeds extensible parsers and QueryPath) which supports RAW input which should solve your issue.

I appears to me that the issue you are trying to resolve, might be related to the issue described in issue # 2224643 (on D.O).

If that's the case, then you might want to try the commit mentioned in #22 in that issue (or the patch attached to #20 there).
