AW: [opencms-dev] What is <![CDATA ???

[M Butcher]

Essentially, the XML parsers skips any content inside of <![CDATA[ ]]>. 
It is basically an escape sequence for XML.

Since HTML looks very similar to XML, but (usually) does not conform to 
the XML standard, it must be escaped in CDATA sections.
