Decode CDATASection Content

Hi,

I'm new to the list, have been lurking for a while. I'm in the midst of a
software project using Xerces 2.1. I've got a problem with some string
content, which I put into a CDATASection. The string contains characters
like e.g. '<', which is encoded to "&lt;".

When I access the CDATASection content later (after saving and reading the
XML file) using 

if(pNode->getNodeType() == Node::CDATA_SECTION_NODE)
{
	const XMLCh * strContent = pNode->getNodeValue();
}

I get a string, in which the special characters are still encoded. How can I
get the decoded string back again!?

Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Martin

Hi,
	unlike text in attribute values and in element content, nothing 
happens to the encoding of characters in CDATA sections during parse. So 
the node value of

<![CDATA[&lt;]]>

would be &lt;

and the node value of

<![CDATA[<]]>

would be <

I hope this explains what you wanted, if not mail again.
