XML with HTML Tags... (easy points) 11g question

Question

Dear Programming Gods,
I have been researching this for about 2 weeks now, and I have hit the final road block.
Using BI Publisher 11.1.1
In APEX 4.0 I have a Rich Text Field. The data from the Rich Text Field is store in CLOB. The data has HTML formatting tags. I have a data model that selects the data. I create an xml which has the html tags. I export the xml and import it into MS Word using the BI Publisher add-in. I import my subtemplate which handles almost all of the formatting tags. I apply the template to the CLOB field so that the HTML formatting tags will be rendered when printed.
The problem is this. The subtemplate is looking for this < and / > however BI publisher convters the tags stored in the CLOB from raw html tags to this &.lt; and &.gt; so the subtemplate can not match to it.
Here is what I need to figure out and please explain it in very novice terms.
When I generate and export the XML from BI Publisher how do I prevent it from converting my raw tags?
Here is some further assistance when prepairing your answer.
My subtemplate is based on the htmlmarkup.xsl from the following blog but has been modified heavily to include support for simple tables, more formatting such as subscripts and superscripts, ect...

I am also familliar with this blog but I do not understand how to implement it using BI 11g.

I have tried adding this to my layout but it doesnt seem to work.
<xsl: element name="R_CLOB" dataType="xdo:xml" value="R_CLOB" / >
Please, help me. I have to have this working in 4 days.

This did not work either. Here's more infor on what I have so far.
My data template looks like this:
<dataTemplate name="Data" description="Template">
     <parameters>
          <parameter name="p_person_id" dataType="character" defaultValue="1"/>
     </parameters>
     <dataQuery>
          <sqlStatement name="Q1">
                              select TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA.line_id as LABEL_line_ID,
TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA.column_id as LABEL_column_ID,
TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA.person_id as LABEL_PERSON_ID,
TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA.label as LABEL_DATA
from MY_BIO.clm_TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA
Where person_id = :p_person_id
and style = 'L'
                         </sqlStatement>
          <sqlStatement name="Q2" parentQuery="Q1" parentColumn="LABEL_DATA">
                              select TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA.LINE_ID as LINE_ID,
TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA.COLUMN_ID as COLUMN_ID,
TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA.label as COLUMN_LABEL,
to_nclob(TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA.COLUMN_DATA) as  COLUMN_DATA,
TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA.STYLE as STYLE,
TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA.ATTRIBUTE as ATTRIBUTE,
NVL(TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA.JUSTIFY,'L') as JUSTIFY
from MY_BIO.clm_TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA TEMPORARY_TEMPLATE_DATA
Where person_id =:p_person_id
and label = :LABEL_DATA
and style != 'L'
Order by line_id, column_id
                         </sqlStatement>
     </dataQuery>
     <dataStructure>
          <group name="G_LABEL" source="Q1">
               <element name="LColumnData" value="label_data"/>
               <group name="G_DATA" parentGroup="G_Label" source="Q2">
                    <element name="LineID" value="line_id"/>
                    <element name="ColumnID" value="column_id"/>
                    <element name="ColumnData" value="column_data"/>
                    <element name="Style" value="style"/>
                    <element name="Attribute" value="attribute"/>
                    <element name="Justify" value="justify"/>
               </group>
          </group>
     </dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
After running this data_template there was no change in the xml file generated see partial :  Note:
my test actually has the B with the html tags
</G_DATA>
- <G_DATA>
<LINEID>20</LINEID>
<COLUMNID>1</COLUMNID>
<COLUMNDATA>test test <B>my test</B></COLUMNDATA>
<STYLE>R</STYLE>
<ATTRIBUTE />
<JUSTIFY>C</JUSTIFY>
</G_DATA>
- <G_DATA>
<LINEID>21</LINEID>
I loaded in to MS Word but there was no change documnet still look the same. I left the commands import file command and xsl:apply-templates command in the word document template.
I really appreciate you helpiing me.
