Hi James,
> I am however having an issue when posting JSON with markup in it. For

I tried to reproduce your example, but it didn't work out. It seems
you were storing data in a database, right? Will the data be stored in
a wrong format, or is the subsequent output (serialization) that gives
wrongly escaped results? Could you possibly give me a little complete
example that we can try out?
Thanks in advance,
Christian
