I reckon using a separate .js file is the way to go - I especially
appreciate the {' '} hint.
Thanks,

Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] embedded javascript problem converting<
to < even though I'm using a CDATA section
I ran into similar problems with in-script and in-line javascript in
xquery pages, but all problems were mitigated by relocating all JS code
to *.js files and referencing them via <script type="text/javascript"
src="file.js">{' '}</script>, leaving only simple JS function calls in
my xquery code.
The {' '} is there between the script tags to prevent marklogic from
collapsing them into <script ... />.
