    Question Ignore tags in an attribute

    Hi!
    How can I ignore XML tags in an attribute in an XML file? For example, if I have a XML file like this:

    Code:
    <sample>
    <sampletag id="my id" description="description cannot contain tags like <tag>" />
    </sample>
    When I access the presented XML file from my application, an error is being raised, because of the enclosed tag in the description attribute. I tried using ![CDATA[ but seems like it is not working for attributes. How can I accomplish the task?

    Thank you!

    In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice; in practice there is.
