Insert XHTML elements inside XML schema

Question

Hi,
My oracle version is 10.2.0.2.0. Following this suggest :
http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=835251&#835251
I tried to create a schema in this way:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xs:schema
     xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
     xmlns:xdb="http://xmlns.oracle.com/xdb"
     targetNamespace="http://test.example.it/test"
     xmlns="http://test.example.it/test"
     elementFormDefault="qualified"
     attributeFormDefault="unqualified">
     <!-- definition of main element -->
     <xs:element name="Project">
          <xs:complexType>
               <xs:sequence>
                    <xs:element name="AnnoBando" type="xs:string" xdb:SQLType="CLOB"/>
                    <xs:element name="AnnoBando2" type="xs:string"/>
               </xs:sequence>
          </xs:complexType>
     </xs:element>
</xs:schema>In this schema only element "AnnoBando" contains XHTML elements, my question is, when I upload my xml document, can I pass directly XHTML elements in this way?
insert into TESTSQLTYPE values ('codice', xmltype('
<Project
     xmlns = "http://test.example.it/test"
     xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
     xmlns:xml="http://www.w3.org/XML/1998/namespace"
     xsi:schemaLocation = "http://test.example.it/test http://test.example.it/test2.xsd">
     <AnnoBando> text <b>bolded text</b> text</AnnoBando>
  <AnnoBando2>empty text</AnnoBando2>
</Project>
'))or I should insert html entities of "<" and ">" of the element?
If i try to insert the xml example specified here I get this error:
ORA-31187: Cannot Add Node 'b' (type='element') to Simple Type Node '/Project/Annobando'Thanks for your help.

Try these two:
1.
======
<AnnoBando>![CDATA[text &lt;b&gt;bolded text&lt;/b&gt; text]]</AnnoBando>
=======
2.
======
<AnnoBando> text &amp;lt;b&amp;gt;bolded text&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt; text</AnnoBando>
=======<p>
Basically, because '<' and '>' are used for element declarations in XML, you cannot include them 'nude' in the element content. The above are two methods of escaping those characters.
