Hello Joshua,
why not so:
<item title="Searching the Site" id="2">
<helpfile>
<para>Text input into paragraphs.</para>
<para>Text input into paragraphs.</para>
</helpfile>
</item>
And then in the template for example:
<xsl:template match="helpfile">
<xsl:apply-templates select="para"/>
</xsl:template>
<xsl:template match="para">
<p><xsl:value-of select="."/></p>
</xsl:template>
Hope this helps.
Joerg
