How can I have ']]>' as a text inside CDATA in xml

[Neeraj Agrawal]

I have a text which may have character sequence ']]>' and I want to
put it inside a CDATA tag. Is it possible to encode this secquence in
the xml ?

Thanks in advance

Yes -- split it in two CDATA sections, e.g.:

<a><![CDATA[A CDATA text with a ]]]]><![CDATA[> in it]]>
</a>

Yes -- split it in two CDATA sections, e.g.:

<a><![CDATA[A CDATA text with a ]]]]><![CDATA[> in it]]>
</a>

Or alternatively don't put it into a CDATA section in the first place (just
escape "&" as "& a m p ;" and "<" as "& l t ;").

You can regard ]]]]><![CDATA[> as an escape for ]]> if you like.
