Revision 399449 of CDATASection

<p>A CDATA Section can be used within XML to include extended portions of unescaped text, such that the symbols &lt; and &amp; do not need escaping as they normally do within XML when used as text.</p>
<p>It takes the form:</p>

<pre class="syntaxbox">
&lt;![CDATA[  ... ]]&gt;
</pre>

<p>For example:</p>

<pre class="brush:xml">
&lt;foo&gt;Here is a CDATA section: &lt;![CDATA[  &lt; &gt; &amp; ]]&gt; with all kinds of unescaped text. &lt;/foo&gt;
</pre>

<p>The only sequence which is not allowed within a CDATA section is the closing sequence of a CDATA section itself:</p>

<pre class="brush:xml">
&lt;![CDATA[  ]]&gt; will cause an error   ]]&gt;
</pre>

<p>Note that CDATA sections should not be used (without hiding) within HTML.</p>
<p>As a CDATASection has no properties or methods unique to itself and only directly implements the Text interface, one can refer to {{domxref("Text")}} to find its properties and methods.</p>
