CDATA
<![CDATA[ ... ]]>
You can define special marked sections of character data, or CDATA,
which the XML processor will not attempt to interpret as markup.
Anything that is included inside a CDATA marked section is
treated as plain text. CDATA marked sections begin with the
characters <![CDATA[ and end with the characters
]]>.
<![CDATA[ I'm now discussing the <element> tag of documents 5 & 6: "Sales" and "Profit and Loss". Luckily, the XML processor won't apply rules of formatting to these sentences! ]]>
Note that you may not use entity references inside a CDATA marked
section, as they will not be expanded.
