Hi Jens, Thanks for the reply. The XML specs seem to indicate it needs escaping when it occurs in "]]>" unless it marks the end of CDATA, regardless of whether it is inside CDATA or not:
The right angle bracket (>) may be represented using the string " > ", and must, for compatibility, be escaped using either " > " or a character reference when it appears in the string " ]]> " in content, when that string is not marking the end of a CDATA section. Am I reading that wrong?

(Since that string marks the end of a CDATA.) —Jens _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
