DTD Attribute Types - CDATA

As with all attribute types, the attribute type of CDATA is placed after the attribute name and before the default value.

Syntax:

<!ATTLIST element_name
attribute_name CDATA default_value>

Example:

<!ATTLIST mountain
country CDATA "New Zealand">

Valid XML - The following XML document would be valid, as it conforms to the above DTD:

<mountains>
  <mountain country="New Zealand">
    <name>Mount Cook</name>
  </mountain>
  <mountain country="Australia">
    <name>Cradle Mountain</name>
  </mountain>
</mountains>
