My comments didn't show the combination, it should be lowercase, but I am putting this UpperCase only to show you what worked for me in AS3:
5 Desarrollos 2 en Cancún 3 en Playa del Carmen más cadena Camino Real

In my last comment, the browser is not showing what I wrote. AS3 solution:
XML: " 5 Desarrollos 2 en Cancún 3 en Playa del Carmen más cadena Camino Real "

On AS3 I Had some issues getting this to work. The final clean solution, that worked for me was adding, a before the first break line, otherwise no break line occurred. Finally this is the line that REALLY worked for me.
XML:
5 Desarrollos 2 en Cancún 3 en Playa del Carmen más cadena Camino Real

Flash showing:
5 Desarrollos
2 en Cancún
3 en Playa del Carmen
más cadena Camino Real.

Thanks so much for posting this.

Hi Nick, thanks for adding the info here!
You're totally right, the proper way to use this is lower case, or better:

The CSS style makes all the heading tags uppercase, I have to fix that.

Thanks again for adding up info to the conversation!

It worked for me (thanks a million) but I had to use (lowercase) instead of

Hope that was helpful for someone.

@Scott: sometimes you don't want html text for many reasons, and CDATA only works inside the items CDATA.
With this "magic trick" you can have line breaks inside the tags attributes too:

I've never had a problem with ... flash doesn't deal well with trailing backslashes, but other than that, if you make sure to set your htmlText, it should work with CDATA without a problem. I just finished up a huge project that had 's all over the xml.
