okay, i'm showing that i'm an xml newbie but i'm confused. what's the difference between declaring an element having CDATA content and using a CDATA section? can i declare that my element will contain a CDATA section in a schema? if so, how? also, not quite related, is it valid for a CDATA section, not the same one, to contain binary data? if so, are there restrictions the binary data must conform to (no null values for instance)? rjsjr > -----Original Message----- > From: Wayne Steele [mailto:xmlmaster@h...] > Sent: Monday, October 16, 2000 5:30 PM > To: rsanford@n...; xml-dev@l... > Subject: Re: how do i... > > > rjsjr: > > You cannot declare an Element as having CDATA content (although > you can in > Full SGML). > > If you want the content of an element to look like XML, but have the > software just pass it through as text, you need to use Entity > References ( a > la < ) or use a CDATA Section. > > <element><![CDATA[ > I am text. > <not_a_start_tag>. > ¬_an_entity_reference;. > <?not a PI?> > <data>some more text</data> > <!-- no comments either --> > I am still just raw text. > ]]></element> > > -Wayne Steele > > >From: rsanford <rsanford@n...> > >To: xml-dev@l... > >Subject: how do i... > >Date: Mon, 16 Oct 2000 15:09:48 -0500 > > > >include XML data as text within an element. what i want is > >given the following simplified xml: > > > > <element> > > <xml_data> > > other text > > </xml_data> > > </element> > > > >when i request the text data for <element> have the entire > >content below that be returned rather than have <xml_data> > >be considered as an element. > > > >do i simply declare <element> to contain CDATA or do i > >have to manually escape the content of <element> so that > >all the < are translated to < (and so forth and so on) > >or do i need to do both? > > > >rjsjr > > > > > > _________________________________________________________________________ > Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com. > > Share information about yourself, create your own public profile at > http://profiles.msn.com. >
