Hi,

I am using an XML file that goes as follow:

```auto

<menu>
   <item label="" details="" img="" />
</menu>

```

I used the \<![CDATA[ tags before with no issues, in order to insert special characters and symbols into the XML text, like so (from the Kirupa sample):

```auto
<text><![CDATA[Here is a bunch of text.
And here is a little more: <, >, &, " and ' with no problem.
Expecting a third line? Neither was I!]]></text>

```

How do I use the \<![CDATA[ tags into a XML file set up with multiple nodes like mine?  
I tried the following but none of them work:

\<item label="\<![CDATA[label 1 goes here]]" details="" img="" /\>

\<item \<![CDATA[label=“label 1 goes here”]] details="" img="" /\>

\<![CDATA[\<item label=“label 1 goes here” details="" img="" /\>]]

Thanks
