Re: AW: Decode CDATASection Content

[Gareth Reakes]

Hi Martin,
        In the sample application I just wrote the DOMWriter behaved as I 
expected - that is it wrote out in the format in which the text in the 
CData sections was read in.

in the input doc -

<![CDATA[<&lt;]]>


in the output doc -

<![CDATA[<&lt;]]>


is this not the behaviour you are seeing?
