Select all wordsDefinition of CDATA | Abbreviation for Character Data. CDATA is a data type model
used in SGML and XML with DTDs. According to HTML 4.0,
"CDATA is a sequence of characters from the
document character set and may include character entities. User agents should
interpret attribute values as follows:
- Replace character entities with characters
- Ignore line feeds
- Replace each carriage return or tab with a single space.
- User agents may ignore leading and trailing white space in CDATA
attribute values"
The documentation for HTML 4 also places many additional constraints on
various attribute's values which are often not expressable using DTD syntax
or data types. On this site, the constrained set of values are described. |
