Dirk,

Thanks for your reply. Here's a simple example. When I run this query with Saxon HE 9.6, the output contains a CDATA section, but when I run it in the BaseX GUI, there is no CDATA and the angle brackets are escaped. Has this serialization parameter been implemented in BaseX?

xquery version "3.0";

declare copy-namespaces no-preserve, no-inherit;
declare default element namespace "http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml";
declare namespace output = "http://www.w3.org/2010/xslt-xquery-serialization";
declare option output:method "xhtml";
declare option output:indent "yes";
declare option output:encoding "utf-8";
declare option output:cdata-section-elements "script";

let $turtle :=
<turtle>
    <![CDATA[
    @prefix ex: <http://example.org/> .
    @prefix test: <http://test.org/> .

    ex:test1 a test:Test .
    ]]>
</turtle>

let $html :=
<html>
    <head>
        <meta
            content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
            http-equiv="Content-Type"/>
        <title>Turtle Test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Turtle Test</h1>
        <script
            type="text/turtle">{
            $turtle/text()
        }</script>
    </body>
</html>

return
    $html

Saxon output:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<html
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
        <meta
            content="text/html; charset=utf-8"
            http-equiv="Content-Type" />
        <title>Turtle Test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <h1>Turtle Test</h1>
        <script type="text/turtle"><![CDATA[

    @prefix ex: <http://example.org/> .
    @prefix test: <http://test.org/> .

    ex:test1 a test:Test .

]]></script>
    </body>
</html>

BaseX output:

<html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
    <meta
      content="text/html; charset=UTF-8"
      http-equiv="Content-Type" />
    <title>Turtle Test</title>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>Turtle Test</h1>
    <script type="text/turtle">

    @prefix ex: <http://example.org/> .
    @prefix test: <http://test.org/> .

    ex:test1 a test:Test .

</script>
</body>
</html>

Hello Tim,

CDATA is just ordinary (encoded) text to XQuery, i.e. there is no
special CDATA data type. Therefore, instead of saving the document in
this way you should adapt the output accordingly. So when you serialize
your output you can use the map {"cdata-section-elements": "script"} to
output the result as CDATA section. You can read a bit more about this
in our documentation at http://docs.basex.org/wiki/Serialization

Cheers
Dirk
