Question

To speed things up for me, I’d like to create a Sublime Text 2 snippet that outputs the following code (taken from this Stack Overflow answer):

/* <![CDATA[ */
/* ]]> */

I tried this:

<snippet>
    <content><![CDATA[
/* <![CDATA[ */
/* ]]> */
]]></content>
    <description>JavaScript: CDATA</description>
    <tabTrigger>jsc</tabTrigger>
</snippet>

But when I use the above code, this is the output I get:

/* <![CDATA[ */
/* 

Notice that the ]]> */ portion is missing. I’ve tried escaping it, but can’t get it to work. Any ideas?

Answer 1

No ideas, but i can suggest a trick:

<snippet>
    <content><![CDATA[
/* <![CDATA[ */
/*  ${1:]]}> */
]]></content>
    <description>JavaScript: CDATA</description>
    <tabTrigger>jsc</tabTrigger>
</snippet>

An extra TAB is required but it works.
