You can't. CDATA sections are not a reliable way of escaping
arbitrary text, just a handy way of making hand-authored XML more
readable. If you need a reliable way to do it, forget CDATA and just
escape everything.

Or break the sequence up across successive CDATA Sections, such as
<![CDATA[...]]]]><![CDATA[>...]]>
or
<![CDATA[...]]]><![CDATA[]>...]]>

Or, as noted, stop trying to use CDATA Sections and just escape
individual characters as needed.

Good morning, I am sure this will be a no-brainer for a lot of you. Put quite simply, I am looking for a way do a search within a string for all of my HTML tags. Once it finds those HTML tags, I will like to wrap some code around it. For example: <p /> ----> <!]> <b /> ----> <!]> <a href="someurl.html"> ----> <!]>

Hi all, is it legal to use a fully-numeric string as "name" attribute for the <select> tag in the XHTML standard? E.g.: <form action="action.php" method="get"> <select name="12345"> <option value="1">test</option> </select>

Hi, I am currently writing a simple PHP program that uses an XML file to output rows for a 'Whats New' page. Once written, I will only require updating the XML file and any pages that use the XML file will get their row content from there. The rows may look some thing similar to this: - Added <a>mailing list</a> functionality to <a>homepage</a> - Competition winners announced, click <a>here</a>

Hi, I'm defining a report layout using an XML document, plugging data values into fields before outputting the whole doc as an HTML page. I wrap each of the data fields in CDATA section (in case the data contains reserved chars like "&"). Currently, I perform a simple search-and-replace to strip out the CDATA tags before outputting the document. It works but it's not as elegant or reliable as I would wish. Is there a better way of...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
