[erlang-questions] beginner: Generating HTML with ">" from Erlang

[Szoboszlay Dániel]

I think it's not possible to add CDATA or PCDATA directives in  
out-of-the-box xmerl. But you can write your own callback module by simply  
copying xmerl_xml and changing '#text#'/1 slightly:

'#text#'(Text) -> ["<![PCDATA[", xmerl_lib:export_text(Text), "]]>"].

Cheers,
Daniel
