Then why "ý" is not allowed in CDATA?

@bjan - What makes you think that's an illegal character? Sounds like you might have an encoding problem.

I opened the doc in IE, i am also using MSXML parser which declared it as an invalid character. I have an xsd in which it is declared as "type="xs:string"". Is it related with encoding or xml version?

So we could use CDATA to smuggle some HTML into the XML document, so that the HTML doesn't confuse the XML document structure, and then use XSLT later to pull it out and spit it into a HTML document that is being output.

@RichardJPLeGuen I'm doing this very thing now, in a mailing list archiver I'm patching. The HTML comes from an e-mail and so could be garbage with broken tags etc. XSLT will treat the CDATA just as a string. When XSLT inserts that text into the output document, you have to disable escaping, oherwise it will turn into escaped HTML code, not markup. That is, < will become < and so on.
