Your problem is that the "b" tag is considered part of the XML structure, try escaping the '<' and '>' characters of the 'b' tag:
@"&lt;b style=\"font-size: x-small;&gt;product, advantages&lt;/b&gt;"

Speaking from a developers perspective I would not recommend using NSXMLParser due to it's laborious way to parse XML Files. There is a great write up about choosing the right XML Parser.

I use KissXML quite often. You can find a quit tutorial of using it here.

Hope this helps.
