XML states that "Text consists of intermingled character data and markup." SGML defines this as: [50] SGML character = markup character | DATACHAR [51] markup character = name character | function character | delmchar In my mind SGML DATACHAR and XML Char are equivalents. The XML defintion of CharData confuses me when I try to read it. Does this really force inclusion of the "-" and "]]>" in CharData? [14] CharData ::= [^<&]* - ([^<&]* ']]>' [^<&]*) It seems to read that CharData is: (Char less [^<&]* ) followed by - followed by (Char less [^<&]*) followed by ]]> followed by (Char less [^<&]*) Does this produce the intended result when CharData becomes part of: [43] content ::= (element | CharData | Reference | CDSect | PI | Comment)* and content becomes part of: [39] element ::= EmptyElemTag | STag content ETag [78] extParsedEnt ::= TextDecl? content Can someone tell me how to correctly read CharData?
