Answering my own question... :-)

declare option output:cdata-section-elements "div";

<div>{ if (1 = 2) then '' else '<div/>' }</div>

I was misinterpreting what cdata-section-elements means... it puts everything in that element in CDATA for you (so it will supply the <![CDATA[ ]]>).

Interesting, this works okay in the lastest BaseX editor, but in OxygenXML (using the BaseX data source) this doesn't work. Does the XQJ connection not allow the declaring of options?

Thanks, Kevin

Hi,

I'm trying to conditionally output CDATA, but don't seem to be finding the right syntax for it.

This works:

declare option output:cdata-section-elements "div";

<div><![CDATA['<div/>']]></div>

But this doesn't:

declare option output:cdata-section-elements "div";

<div>{    if (1 = 2) then '' else <![CDATA['<div/>']]>  }</div>

Any hints on how to do this?

Thanks! Kevin
