A "workaround" is to close the first CDATA section, write the ]]> (or for compatibility it seems you have to use ]]> and then open up a new CDATA section to continue. Example: <P> Here is the beginning of the CDATA marked section: <![CDATA[<p><![CDATA[ blah blah ... ]]> ]]> <![CDATA[</p> Here is the true end. ]]> </P> BTW: Do people think XML parsers generally will/should complain about a ]]> when it for *compatibility* should be ]]> ? (Or do I misinterpret the draft text: 'and must for compatibility, be escaped using ">" or a character reference when it appears in the string "]]>", when that string is not marking the end of a CDATA section' Does it mean that the user should better use ">" to be compatible with SGML, or that the XML parser should report this as an error if not escaped using ">"?) <OffTopic> I have some concerns related to & and < when not followed by a char which can start a name (or "<!", <?"). I assume the reasons for *not* allowing "if x<>nil then doSomething" as legal content is because it is better for users that & and < are consistently not allowed for anything than markup, but I'm not convinced about this. (At least it seems trivial for parsers to check this situation) </OffTopic> Cheers, Jarle xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
