Output formatting to cdata for AS/flash

I am using the output from a ckeditor to write to a xml file that is to be read by flash using CDATA. Flash's reading of html formatting is very limited, and doesnt accept anything in css style tags (ie <span style="font:12px;...), and instead uses CDATA (ie CDATA[font size="12"...]. I started to create my own filter in my application to parse the html/css into CDATA, substituting <b> for <strong>, <i> for <em> etc, but I cant help but wonder if there's a way to format the output for ckeditor already out there, or in the config.

Im new to ckeditor, so any advice is much much appreciated!

Re: Output formatting to cdata for AS/flash

I solved the issue by creating a parser in my python app, just replacing the style tags with the deprecated font tag attributes that i needed. I suppose it doesnt make sense for many applications to output formatted with the html font tag anymore, but for exporting to xml for flash it would be useful.
