IXMLDOMCDATASection Interface

Used to quote or escape blocks of text to keep that text from being interpreted as markup language.

This interface inherits from IXMLDOMText.

Methods

This interface has no unique methods of its own but exposes the inherited methods of the IXMLDOMText interface.

Remarks

CDATA sections let you include material such as XML fragments within XML documents without needing to escape all the delimiters. The only delimiter recognized in a CDATA section is the "]]>" string that ends the CDATA section.

CDATA sections cannot be nested.

The text contained by the CDATA section is stored in a text node. Note that this text can contain characters that need to be escaped outside of CDATA sections.

Although the CDATASection object inherits the Text object, note that unlike text nodes, the IXMLDOMElement interface's normalize method does not merge CDATASection nodes.

Requirements

Implementation: Msxml.dll

Header and IDL files: Msxml.h, Xmldom.idl
