        include_once( "kernel/classes/datatypes/ezxmltext/handlers/input/ezsimplifiedxmlinput.php" );
        $simplifiedXMLInput = new eZSimplifiedXMLInput( $dumpdata, null, null );
  $address = "<line>bjoern x</line><line>asdasdasd</line><line>Germany</line>";
  
  $bodyData = "<section xmlns:image='http://ez.no/namespaces/ezpublish3/image/' xmlns:xhtml='http://ez.no/namespaces/ezpublish3/xhtml/' xmlns:custom='http://ez.no/namespaces/ezpublish3/custom/' >";
        $bodyData .= "<paragraph>";
        $bodyData .= $address;
        $bodyData .= "</paragraph>";
        $bodyData .= "</section>";
        $Data = $simplifiedXMLInput->convertInput( $bodyData );
        $xml = $Data[0]->toString();
        var_dump($xml);
        $data_map['address']->setAttribute( 'data_text', $xml );
        $data_map['address']->store();

What is the best way to turn any type text into the content of a xml text field?

I don't wanna have all the tags in my code! Any ideas?

The way you do it in the example above is ok. If you don't want to have the tags in your code you should look into using the XML dom structure.
