Cdata new line character

A very specific question!

When using CDATA (Character Data) sections in XML, you may encounter issues with newline characters (\n or \r\n).

In CDATA sections, the & character is used to escape special characters, including newline characters. However, if you want to include a newline character within a CDATA section, you need to use a special syntax.

Here are a few options:

  1. Use a literal newline character: You can include a literal newline character (\n) within a CDATA section without any issues. For example:
    <![CDATA[
    This is a CDATA section
    with a newline character:
    \n
    More text...
    ]]>
  2. Use a character reference: You can use a character reference (&#x0A; or &#10;) to represent a newline character. For example:
    <![CDATA[
    This is a CDATA section
    with a newline character: &#x0A;
    More text...
    ]]>
  3. Use a CDATA section with a newline character: You can include a CDATA section within another CDATA section, which allows you to include newline characters without escaping them. For example:
    <![CDATA[
    <![CDATA[
    This is a CDATA section
    with a newline character:
    \n
    More text...
    ]]>
    ]]>

    Remember that CDATA sections are used to escape special characters, so you don't need to escape newline characters within a CDATA section. However, if you're using a CDATA section within another CDATA section, you may need to use one of the above methods to include a newline character.
