I assume that it was a typo, but a CDATA section opens with
"<![CDATA[" not "<![CDATA[[".

Are you talking about the content files or the metadata?  IOW would
you describe the problem more thoroughly.

A tool like HTML Tidy might help if you are ingesting HTML files.

For metadata, you should know that only some fields will be
interpreted as HTML, and in those only a subset of HTML is processed.
I have a small and slowly growing set of substitution rules wired into
my batch ingestion process, to take care of things like naked left
brokets and "R&D".
