-/**
- * CDATA sections are used to escape blocks of text containing characters that
- * would otherwise be regarded as markup. The only delimiter that is
- * recognized in a CDATA section is the "]]>" string that ends the CDATA
- * section. CDATA sections cannot be nested. Their primary purpose is for
- * including material such as XML fragments, without needing to escape all
- * the delimiters.
- * <p>The <code>DOMString</code> attribute of the <code>Text</code> node holds
- * the text that is contained by the CDATA section. Note that this may
- * contain characters that need to be escaped outside of CDATA sections and
- * that, depending on the character encoding ("charset") chosen for
- * serialization, it may be impossible to write out some characters as part
- * of a CDATA section.
- * <p> The <code>CDATASection</code> interface inherits from the
- * <code>CharacterData</code> interface through the <code>Text</code>
- * interface. Adjacent <code>CDATASection</code> nodes are not merged by use
- * of the <code>normalize</code> method of the <code>Node</code> interface.
- * Because no markup is recognized within a <code>CDATASection</code>,
- * character numeric references cannot be used as an escape mechanism when
- * serializing. Therefore, action needs to be taken when serializing a
- * <code>CDATASection</code> with a character encoding where some of the
- * contained characters cannot be represented. Failure to do so would not
- * produce well-formed XML.One potential solution in the serialization
- * process is to end the CDATA section before the character, output the
- * character using a character reference or entity reference, and open a new
- * CDATA section for any further characters in the text node. Note, however,
- * that some code conversion libraries at the time of writing do not return
- * an error or exception when a character is missing from the encoding,
- * making the task of ensuring that data is not corrupted on serialization
- * more difficult.
- * <p>See also the <a href='http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-DOM-Level-2-Core-20001113'>Document Object Model (DOM) Level 2 Core Specification</a>.
