Difference between PCDATA and CDATA in DTD

Question

What is the difference between #PCDATA and #CDATA in DTD?

Answer 1

PCDATA - Parsed Character Data

XML parsers normally parse all the text in an XML document.

CDATA - (Unparsed) Character Data

The term CDATA is used about text data that should not be parsed by the XML parser.

Characters like "<" and "&" are illegal in XML elements.
