If you are in a hurry, then you are better to post to phpxpath-users, as =
that way it won't be just me who sees your questions.

The short answer is that you'll have to deal with it yourself. =20

For the long answer, search in the code for these symbols to see a full =
description of the problems:
- parsInCData
- xml_set_default_handler
- xml_set_character_data_handler
- _translateAmpersand

CData caused parsing problems, and as such it's structure is not stored, =
rather it is treated as part of the containing textnode.  You might be =
able to "formally" remove the <!CDATA[ ]]> parts passing the string you =
get back from wholeText() through the xml parser, but you'd have to wrap =
it in <> stuff in order to make your string a valid xml document.
