Posting HTML content via XML-RPC

How can I post an HTML formatted post via the XML-RPC interface? If I post the HTML code it gets converted to entities. If I preconvert content to entities, it doesn’t get converted back (obviously) ??

I am using PHP with the xml-rpc library. Example Code:


$content = "Bold Statement;
$xmlrpcurl = "https://127.0.0.1:2006/devwp/xmlrpc.php";

$client = new xmlrpc_client($xmlrpcurl);

$params[] = new xmlrpcval("n/a");
$params[] = new xmlrpcval("n/a");
$params[] = new xmlrpcval("admin");
$params[] = new xmlrpcval("chrislottt");
$params[] = new xmlrpcval(
"<title>LinkLog</title>".
"<category>2</category>".
$content);
$params[] = new xmlrpcval("true");

$msg = new xmlrpcmsg("blogger.newPost",$params);

Am I going to have to do a direct insert into the WP tables or use the internal WP functions??
