3670,Removing CDATA close tag ( ]]> ) unbalances the CDATA block,scenic,andy,"I'm
not sure if this is a bug per se, but it breaks included JS in my
posts that are escaped with a CDATA section.  I've basically commented
out the following line in the_content() every time I upgrade:

//$content = str_replace(']]>', ']]&gt;', $content);

A user on the wp-testers list indicated that this was part of making sure that included CDATA blocks didn't break RSS feeds.  I don't use CDATA sections directly in my RSS feeds, so I haven't tested this.  In my particular case, the JS is used to embed Flash movies (e.g. YouTube videos) in an XHTML compliant way (without embed tags).  I have a custom plugin I've written that strips out the JS and replaces it with the embed tag in the RSS feed.

Perhaps we should use a flag to activate this when the app is going through a feed.  Ideally, though, it would simply be removed.  Odds are that the CDATA block is being used for a JS block in a post body, and since most RSS aggregators don't allow JS by default, it would be safe to simply remove CDATA blogs if is_feed() is set.",defect (bug),new,normal,Future Release,Template,2.1,minor,,has-patch,kirkpatrick josephscott westi shidouhikari luke.gedeon@…
