Trouble with CDATA Sections in XML Parsing - Getting Unexpected Text Content
I've hit a wall trying to I recently switched to I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm stuck on something that should probably be simple... I'm attempting to set up This might be a silly question, but I'm using Python's `xml.etree.ElementTree` module to parse an XML file that contains CDATA sections, but I'm encountering unexpected behavior... The XML looks like this: ```xml <root> <data><![CDATA[Some <b>bold</b> text]]></data> </root> ``` When I try to access the text inside the `data` element, I expected to retrieve the full content including the HTML tags. Instead, I get only the plain text without the `<b>` tag: ```python import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET xml_content = '''<root>\ <data><![CDATA[Some <b>bold</b> text]]></data>\ </root>''' root = ET.fromstring(xml_content) print(root.find('data').text) ``` This prints out `Some bold text`. It seems that the CDATA section is being processed incorrectly, stripping out the HTML tags. I've tried using `ET.XMLParser` with `recover=True`, but it didn’t help. Does anyone know how to properly handle CDATA sections in this context or if there's something I'm missing in my parsing logic? I'm using Python 3.9 and would appreciate any insights on best practices for working with CDATA in XML. This is part of a larger API I'm building. Any ideas what could be causing this? For reference, this is a production CLI tool. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Could someone point me to the right documentation? This issue appeared after updating to Python LTS. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. I'm coming from a different tech stack and learning Python. I'm using Python 3.10 in this project. Thanks for your help in advance!
