(Hmmm, there's a CDATA > section. Fire up the pizza delivery DLL.) Could you give an example? Thanks. Not necessarily a semantic, but certainly an *intent*. The example given earlier was pretty good. You're writing a tutorial on HTML or some programming language, and as a convention, and as a convenience, you put all examples in CDATA sections. This makes it easy to edit *and* easy to extract your examples. Like Lauren, I am not saying that think CDATA sections are necessary or not, simply that some people really do want them. xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
