			ELEMENT: <![CDATA[...]]> Strictly speaking, the <![CDATA[...]]> tag is not part of the WSH XML element. However, it is very useful to tell the XML parser not to parse the contents wrapped inside the <![CDATA[...]]> section. This will prevent the XML parser from failing when the contents contain some XML-reserved characters, such as ampersand (&). The following sample code cannot be parsed correctly by the XML parser. <?XML version="1.0" ?> <!-- Filename: demo.wsf--> <package> <job> <script type="text/vbscript"> WScript.Echo "Hello " & "World!" </script> </job> </package> The following sample code illustrates how the <![CDATA[...]]> tag can be used to fixed the erroneous code shown above. <?XML version="1.0" ?> <!-- Filename: demo.wsf--> <package> <job> <script type="text/vbscript"> <![CDATA[ WScript.Echo "Hello " & "World!" ]]> </script> </job> </package>
