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 " &gt; ", and must, for compatibility, be escaped using either " &gt; " 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?

Many thanks,
Keith

The ">" in "]]>" only needs to be escaped when it's inside a CDATA, I believe. (Since that string marks the end of a CDATA.)
