Mixed Content
Preserve Mixed Content by Default

scope.
If an element contains a mix of text and markup, the contents are considered to be mixed content. The following is an example of an element with mixed content.
<dir>c:\data\AlphaProject\ <file readOnly="false">test1.txt</file> <file readOnly="false">test2.txt</file> </dir>
