XML Tutorial/Introduction/CDATA
CDATA sections can tell the XML parser not to parse the text.
<source lang="xml">
CDATA sections look like this: <comparison><![CDATA[6 is < 7 & 7 > 6]]></comparison> Everything starting after the <![CDATA[ and ending at the ]]> is ignored by the parser. The following example uses a CDATA section to keep an XML parser from parsing a section of JavaScript: <script language="JavaScript"><![CDATA[ function myFunc() {
if(0 < 1 && 1 < 2) alert("Hello");
} ]]></script></source>
Displaying Elements as Text
<source lang="xml">
You may not nest CDATA sections. To write ]]> and you are not closing a CDATA section, the > must be written as >. <xml_book>
