[Tclxml-users] CDATA in text nodes

[Derek F. <fo...@hu...>]

I'm trying to work out the status of CDATA support in text nodes in various 
versions of ActiveTcl. I have this little test script:

---
#!/bin/sh
# \
exec tclsh8.3 "$0" "$@"

package require xml
package require dom

set xml {<test><![CDATA[Some text with a <br/> in it]]></test>}
set docNode [::dom::DOMImplementation parse $xml -parser tcl]

set elementNode [dom::node cget $docNode -firstChild]
set textNode [dom::node cget $elementNode -firstChild]
puts [dom::node cget $textNode -nodeValue]
---

With ActiveTcl-8.3.4.3 this returns an empty string. If I remove the -parser 
option, it returns the CDATA text. Unfortunately, the default parser is too 
buggy - I need the tcl parser to make the rest of my script work.

ActiveTcl-8.4.0.1 doesn't have the -parser option (I thought it used the same 
Tcldom package as 8.3.4.3, but must be mistaken), and has other issues in 
other places which prevent my script working.

Basically, I want to stick with ActiveTcl-8.3.4.3, and the tcl parser, and 
get the text from CDATA sections. Can I do that?
