Tags in javascript are being destroyed

[irsdl]

Hi,
I grabbed this sample from www.bbc.co.uk website (cookie confirmation section on top):

<script type="text/html" id="test">
<![CDATA[ <div id="mytag"> <h2> Test </h2> <p> We use cookies</p></div> ]]>
</script>

These tags will be completely destroyed if you try it in http://jsbeautifier.org/

Does anyone with more html experience have any thoughts on this? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3302648/should-i-use-cdata-in-html5 seems to indicate that the correct way to do this is:

<script type="text/html" id="test">
//<![CDATA[ <div id="mytag"> <h2> Test </h2> <p> We use cookies</p></div> ]]>
</script>

Hi Mario and Gareth,
Do you have any opinion on this generally? 

Thanks
Soroush

An usable solution would be to not really care for CDATA worm–can in this case and update html beautifier to attempt to determine the "type" attribute of the script tags, and leave everything intact if it's not text/javascript (or empty): currently all scripts are passed to js-beautifier as-is.

Sorry just found your email in a sea of gmail :D

CDATA is extremely important since it allows you to display entities "as
is" unfortunately there is a difference between standards and quirks and
svg and html. They are extremely useful when filtering SVG though because
inside a style you can prevent entities from working and causing undesired
results in your filter. I'd reply on stackoverflow but I don't have an
account.

Looks like this now fixed.

Looks like this is broken (still/again?)

I haven't changed the plugin but I will probably update it soon with new
features and new patches. Hopefully all the open issues will be resolved.
