Hello,

If I want minidom to output XHTML that includes normally XML escaped
characters how would I do it?

For instance if I use doc.createCDATASection() I get:

<![CDATA[<!--#include virtual="/top.html" -->]]>

and without the CDATASection:

&lt;!--#include virtual="/top.html" -->

when I really need:

<!--#include virtual="/top.html" -->

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Derek Basch

that's an XML comment. if you want to insert a comment, insert a
comment:

elem.appendChild(
mydoc.createComment('#include virtual="/top.html"')
)

Thanks effbot. I haven't had much use for XML comments so far and I
guess other people haven't either because it seems they are hardly ever
mentioned.
