How to parse html embedded in xml in R?

I have one input file which has html tag embedded in xml for example

 <Root>
   <Section1>
   <p>some text</p>
   <br>
   <table>
       <th></th>
       <tr>
       <td></td> 
       </tr>    
   </table>
   </Section1>
  <Section2>
  <ol>
      <li>1</li>
      <li>2</li>
      <li>3</li>
  </ol>
  </Section2>
</Root>

Is there any way to parse html embedded in xml document in R?

If its XHTML then it should be XML, so you use the standard XML parsers. You can find plenty about those elsewhere.

Note your <Section1> tag doesn't close properly. If this is a file you've pasted in, then there's a problem with it.
