Does XML not parse regular HTML tags?
I was just trying to update some text on a webmail login page written in XML and needed to change a link. The link is currently listed as a variable but I can't find where the variable is stored, so I figured I'd just do it as a quick and dirty HTML fix, but it parses it just as text.

XML is a file format, not a program. Same for HTML. They are just text files. Not sure what software you're using, but it is the software which decides how to parse those files. XML is just a data storage format.
Hope this is of some help

XML is just a way to store data, in order to view that data you need to parse it using some sort of script. Usually people write XML parsers in PHP, but I've seen them done with Java as well.

Actually it did. I found the HTML file where it called to the variable in the XML file and just edited it there.
