[Gdal-dev] testing of CDATA support in GDAL/OGR

[Kralidis,Tom [Burlington]]

Hi,
 
Using GDAL/OGR 1.4.0 (02 January 2007) on an FC4 box, we're testing CDATA block support within XML documents which are processed by GDAL/OGR (our target need is WMC docs in MapServer).
 
I've tested using a GML document with a CDATA block to an attribute element:

	<![CDATA[iGEORGIAN BAY <tom>]]>
	 
	when doing a:
	 
	$ ogrinfo -al foo.gml
	 
	The attribute is shown as:
	 
	iGEORGIAN BAY
	 
	When I test a special char:
	 
	<![CDATA[iGEORGIAN BAY & <tom>]]>
	 
	the result of the output shapefile attribute is:
	 
	iGEORGIAN BAY
	 
	From what I can see, this code is in port/cpl_minixml.cpp.
	 
	Is this the intended behaviour?
