CDATA output

Trying to get a xml feed to work...

Example:

<id><![CDATA[+propertyIdMask+]]</id>

outputs as:

<id><![CDATAatnw4446]> (note: No [ after CDATA)

Any tags like this- <id><![CDATA[ID:[+propertyIdMask+]]]</id> output as <id><![CDATA[ID: atnw4446]</id> (supposedly correct according to the example given by the feed recipient)

Using Evolution 1.0.3

So firstly, why is this happening? And secondly, what do I need to do or tell my webguy to do to fix it?

I’m a total novice so please go easy Thanks in advance for your kind help!

[+propertyIdMask+] is interpreted as a placeholder tag and is replaced by atnw4446 (the value set for that placeholder). You’d need another [ if you want one there and another extra closing ] after the placeholder. Also, the CDATA closing ]] must be on a separate line with no leading spaces:
