XML cdata error

[Larry]

Hi guys,

I'm having trouble with the following code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE db
[
<!ELEMENT db (title)>
<!ELEMENT title (#PCDATA)>
]>

<db>
<title>"%%&&&hello!!!"</title>
</db>

It doesn't work at all...any suggests would be appreciateds, thanks

<db>
<title>"%%&&&hello!!!"</title>
</db>

It doesn't work at all...any suggests would be appreciateds, thanks

You must escape your ampersands, as they have a special meaning -- they
are used for -- escaping ! Use &amp; instead.

Use what your subjects says, a CDATA section
<title><![CDATA["%%&&&hello!!!"]]></title>
Or escape every ampersand as &amp;.
