Is it possible to insert HTML content in XML document?

I need to insert HTML content into an XML document, is this possible or should HTML content be, for example, encoded in BASE64 or with something else like that?

You can include HTML content. One possibility is encoding it in BASE64 as you have mentioned.

Another might be using CDATA tags.

Example using CDATA:

<xml>
    <title>Your HTML title</title>
    <htmlData><![CDATA[<html>
        <head>
            <script/>
        </head>
        <body>
        Your HTML's body
        </body>
        </html>
     ]]>
    </htmlData>
</xml>

Please note:

CDATA's opening character sequence: <![CDATA[

CDATA's closing character sequence: ]]>

so long as your html content doesn't need to contain a CDATA element, you can contain the HTML in a CDATA element, otherwise you'll have to escape the XML entities.

<element><![CDATA[<p>your html here</p>]]></element>

<element>&lt;p&gt;your html here&lt;/p&gt;</element>
