Question

I need to pass a <![cdata[something-html-formatted]]> to a xml file where I parse it as a html email body. All is working except retrieving correctly the email body.
Say, for instance, I have a string like this:

<![CDATA[I need to write <b>this</b> text in <i>italic</i>]]>

I always get the result on the email like this:

this</b> text in italic</i>]]>

How can I pass the complete string to the XML file?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Simply encode it, like you would everything else, by replacing < with < and > with >:

<xml>
&lt;![CDATA[I need to write &lt;b&gt;this&lt;/b&gt; text in 
&lt;i&gt;italic&lt;/i&gt;]]&gt;
</xml>

works fine.
