function Html::escapeCdataElement
Adds comments around a <!CDATA section in a \DOMNode.
\DOMDocument::loadHTML() in \Drupal\Component\Utility\Html::load() makes CDATA sections from the contents of inline script and style tags. This can cause HTML4 browsers to throw exceptions.
This function attempts to solve the problem by creating a \DOMDocumentFragment to comment the CDATA tag.
Parameters
\DOMNode $node: The element potentially containing a CDATA node.
string $comment_start: (optional) A string to use as a comment start marker to escape the CDATA declaration. Defaults to '//'.
string $comment_end: (optional) A string to use as a comment end marker to escape the CDATA declaration. Defaults to an empty string.
