Handling raw HTML as field values in XML formats

[ronaldtse]

We've just come across an example of embedding raw HTML inside XML.

The NIST OSCAL Metaschema allows embedding HTML inside XML as documentation.

This is the exact use case for using the raw option for an attribute.

From:

• Handle OSCAL Metaschema embedding of HTML oscal#26

@HassanAkbar can we confirm that this use case is supported by raw? Thanks!

@ronaldtse Currently, we can use the raw tag for this by adding it to each attribute we define, like attribute:remarks, raw: true, but for the current implementation, we will have to define raw: true everywhere.
We can have something like as discussed here #57 (comment), or we can provide raw: true at root level for an attribute like

class Remark < Lutaml::Model::Serializeable
  attribute :raw_content

  xml do
    root "remarks", raw: true

    map_content to: :raw_content
  end
end

@ronaldtse What do you suggest?

@HassanAkbar now that #129 is merged, do we still need this ticket? Thanks.

[HassanAkbar]

@ronaldtse I think this is no longer needed as we have both the raw tag and map_all.

@ronaldtse Should we close this ticket now?

[ronaldtse]

Yes we can close this ticket for now. Thanks!
