CDATA Sections

CDATA sections are used to display markup without the XML processor trying to interpret that markup. They are particularly useful when you want to display sections of XML code.

<![CDATA[

any characters (including markup)

]]>

Example:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE body [
	<!ELEMENT body (#PCDATA)>
]>

<body>

	<![CDATA[
	
	Here is an example of an internal DTD:
	<!DOCTYPE lab_group [
		<!ELEMENT lab_group (student_name)*>
		<!ELEMENT student_name (#PCDATA)>
		<!ATTLIST student_name student_no ID #REQUIRED>
		<!ATTLIST student_name tutor_1 IDREF #IMPLIED>
		<!ATTLIST student_name tutor_2 IDREF #IMPLIED>
	]>

	]]>

</body>
