Placemark.description cannot hold CDATA or unescaped HTML about javaapiforkml

[GoogleCodeExporter]

There wasn't a place to select the type. I would consider this as an 
enhancement, 
except maybe that Kml doesn't allow a ContentHandler for marshalling even 
though 
JAXB does.

I added the public boolean marshal(ContentHandler) {...} method. (in r30.
http://code.google.com/p/javaapiforkml/source/detail?r=30)

Please let me know, if it is enough and you're now able to serialize your CDATA 
code
correctly.

I set up my code like the JAXB FAQ suggested, but for whatever reason the 
serializer 
just won't pick up on the description element. I 
tried "^description", "description", ":description"... no dice.

Oh well... thanks for the enhancement. The marshaller does use the 
ContentHandler. 
Hopefully the JAXB team will change the FAQ to a way that isn't deprecated.

Is this really fixed?  I am struggling to get this to work.  I have tried used 
the  https://jaxb.dev.java.net/faq/JaxbCDATASample.java solution but it does 
not affect the 'description' element in any way.  Anyone have any success?

Anyone fixed the problem?
It still does not work.

This is my code:
outputFormat.setCDataElements( new String[] { "description"}); 

             outputFormat.setPreserveSpace(true);
             outputFormat.setIndenting(true);
             org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer  xmlSerializer=new org.apache.xml.serialize.XMLSerializer  (fileWriter,outputFormat);           
             kml.marshal(xmlSerializer.asContentHandler());
