XML Support for the CDATA tag

Reported by: clayasaurus Assigned to: clayasaurus
Priority: minor Milestone: 0.3
Component: unspecified Version: svn
Keywords: Cc:

Description 

The text in the CDATA section is not actually ignored, it is just left unparsed, which makes it ideal for -- for example -- embedding scripting language code, or text from a resource which cannot be reasonably trusted not to violate proper XML textual syntax, such as using the &lt; entity rather than "<".

Put another way: the text between "<![CDATA[" and "]]>" is left as-is and otherwise treated as "just" another block of text. Its the XML string literal.

Add CDATA tag support for Arc's XML parser.

Note: As soon as Tango incorporates XML functionality, Arc's XML will be dropped.

Adjusting the priority since the original requester of the CDATA feature, Brian Hsu, has since released his own XML reader: http://www.digitalmars.com/webnews/newsgroups.php?art_group=digitalmars.D.announce&article_id=10092

I'm going to be changing to Tango's XML code... so this will not be a problem.
