Hint: if that CDATA marked section is an indicator that you plan to place "escaped" HTML -- don't do it.

Or maybe I should have written "escaped 'HTML'" -- since the stuff *is* escaped, but it *isn't* HTML.

We routinely get questions from people with quasi-HTML pseudo-markup asking how to turn it into the real thing. That's not so hard to do -- until you discover it won't parse. Then you're back to square one.

If you maintain it as XML (meaning syntactically; use whatever tag set you like), and assuming you use proper tools to maintain it, you'll never run into this problem.

Cheers,
Wendell
