CDATA
Synopsis
You can define special sections of character data, or CDATA, which
the XML processor does not attempt to interpret as markup. Anything
included inside a CDATA section is treated as plain text. CDATA
sections begin with the characters <![CDATA[
and end with the characters ]]>
. For example:
<![CDATA[ Im now discussing the <element> tag of documents 5 & 6: "Sales" and "Profit and Loss". Luckily, the XML processor wont apply rules of formatting to these sentences! ]]>
Note that entity references inside a CDATA section will not be expanded.
