What is expected output (pure XML)?

only XML. Just HTML to XML

What you mean Html to XML? There is no inbuilt method!
You have to provide schema of result XML.

Solution 1

You can't just paste the text into an XML file. You have to encode the text into a CDATA section so it doesn't screw with the XML.

Google for "C# CDATA section" for examples.

That's not code and I already told you what you have to do.

As Dave Kreskoviak[^] mentioned (solution 1), you have to include HTML content into CDATA section.

C#

string HtmlText = @"<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3">
 
</font></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span lang="DA" style="line-height: 115%; font-family: " tahoma="," sans-serif="; font-size: 8.5pt;">Hello Dummy text need XML n 18. juni 2015.</span><span lang="DA" style="line-height: 115%; font-family: " tahoma="," sans-serif="; font-size: 8.5pt;"><br>
<br>
demo text for experiment være
opmærksom på følgende regler:<br>
<br>
1. Fl hello texten<br>
<br>
Street 101 Indiae adresse.<br>
<br>";

XDocument xdoc = new XDocument();
XElement xroot = new XElement("MyXml");
XElement xdata = new XElement("MyData", new XCData(HtmlText));
xroot.Add(xdata);
xdoc.Add(xroot);
//xdoc.Save("Enter_full_file_name");</br></br></br></br></br></br></br></br></span></p>

Result:

XML

<MyXml>
  <MyData><![CDATA[<p><font face='Times New Roman' size='3'>

</font></p><p class='MsoNormal' style='margin: 0in 0in 10pt;'><b><span lang='DA' style='line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 8.5pt;'>Hello Dummy text need XML n 18. juni 2015.</span></b><span lang='DA' style='line-height: 115%; font-family: 'Tahoma','sans-serif'; font-size: 8.5pt;'><br>
<br>

<br>
<b>1. Fl hello texten</b><br>
<br>

<br>]]></MyData>
</MyXml>

Otherwise, you'll be forced to replace each < and > into:

HTML

< and >
