  3. 11.x core/lib/Drupal/Component/Utility/Html.php \Drupal\Component\Utility\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.
